Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup
1 can (10.5 oz) beef consommé
4 tbsp unsalted butter, sliced into pats
2 tbsp chopped chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Spread the cooked beef evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle uncooked rice over the beef.
Pour French onion soup and beef consommé over the top. Gently stir to distribute the liquids and rice.
Top with sliced pats of butter.
Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes, until the rice is tender and the top is golden.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Notes
For a cheesy twist, top with shredded cheddar or mozzarella during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Stir in frozen peas, carrots, or mushrooms for added vegetables.
Swap ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles.
Boost flavor with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, or red pepper flakes.
