# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
¾ cup butter, sliced into chunks (1½ sticks)
02 -
1 pound of lean ground beef
03 -
2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked (not instant)
04 -
2 cans (10.5 oz each) French onion soup
05 -
2 cans (10.5 oz each) beef broth or consommé
06 -
¾ cup water
07 -
½ to 1 tsp garlic salt, based on how salty you like it
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 425°F and let it preheat. Meanwhile, grab a 9x13 pan and coat it well with cooking spray.
02 -
Cook the ground beef in a large skillet until it's browned and no longer pink. Sprinkle with garlic salt as it cooks, and break it apart so it’s crumbly.
03 -
Toss the rice and beef together in your sprayed pan. Add the soups, broth, and water, then mix it all up until it’s blended nicely.
04 -
Spread butter slices over everything, placing them evenly on top to melt during baking for ultimate flavor.
05 -
Cover the dish tightly with foil and pop it in the oven for 30 minutes.
06 -
Take off the foil and put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes until it's totally hot and bubbling.
07 -
Once it’s out of the oven, give it a nice fluff with a fork and serve up this warm comforting dish!
# Notes:
01 -
Save some cleanup! Use a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven instead—cook the beef in it first, then add everything else and bake it right in there.
