My Creamy Beef Casserole With Rice
Try my beef casserole with rice for dinner tonight, you'll see, everyone will love it!
The first time I created this recipe, I timed myself because I was curious to see how long it would take.
Talk about quick and easy ground beef casserole:
From start to finish it was exactly 30 minutes...which included cutting the veggies, cooking the meat, the veggies and the rice and putting it all together.
Beef Casserole with Rice
What you need
- 1lb Ground Beef (I prefer lean)
- 1 can of cream of celery soup (or any other creamy soup you prefer)
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 6 carrots sliced thin
- 3 celery branches sliced thin
- 1 onion cut in 2 and sliced
- mince garlic (in a jar) as much as you want
- 1 tbs olive oil
- one bag of "microwave in the pouch" rice (that take 2 minutes in microwave), any flavour
You can add shredded cheese on top of the beef casserole if you want. Or change the veggies according to what you like - just make it your own
What to do
Heat up a frying pan on high. Throw in the ground beef and with a spatula break it up in small pieces.
While this is cooking, start another frying pan with the olive oil in it on medium.
Add the garlic in it, move it around a bit, then add all your veggies and stir for about a minute.
Add about 1/4 cup of water to the veggie pan, bring the heat down to low and cover. Stir around while the veggies are cooking.
Back to your ground beef, make sure you turn it over and stir often and break it up in even more pieces with the spatula.
You want to make sure it is fully cooked, no more pink. Cook it till it's a bit dark brown.
If you used the lean kind, you don't have to drain the pan. But if you used the other kinds, you'll have to do it.
Heat up the rice pouch in the microwave according to directions.
Mix the milk with the soup.
Lower the heat under the ground beef pan, dump all the veggies, the rice and the soup in with the beef and mix well.
Let it simmer maybe a minute while constantly stirring to prevent burning.
Serve and Enjoy
