Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup long grain white rice, uncooked
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 0.5 pound ground beef, cooked
- 9 pieces Cheddar or Colby Jack cheese, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x9-inch baking dish. This step prevents sticking and makes for easier cleanup.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, uncooked rice, water, sliced carrots, and cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes. This long cooking time allows the rice to absorb all the flavors and become tender.
- After 90 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and top it with cheese slices. Return it to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
