Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef (I used 90% lean)
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 3 large garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 ½ cups Jasmine rice (basmati rice will work too)
- 2 (10.5) ounce French Onion soup
- 2 (10.5) Ounce beef consommé (or beef broth)
- ⅓ cup water
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (sliced)
- Fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 420°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Set it aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil. Saute the onions and garlic till fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the onions and garlic. Break the beef into smaller pieces and sauté until the beef is fully cooked and no longer pink. About 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Transfer the cooked ground beef to the prepared casserole dish, add the uncooked rice, French onion soup, beef consommé, and water. Stir everything together.
- Place slices of butter on top. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
- Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or green onions. Enjoy!

Notes
- Feel free to add chopped vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, or asparagus to this dish. Just cut them into ½ inch pieces and mix them with the cooked beef in the casserole dish. No need to pre cook them.
- Basmati and Jasmine rice are excellent choices for this recipe because they maintain their shape well. Brown rice is also an option, but you might need to add more liquid and extend the baking time.
- This recipe as is doesn't require extra salt. However you can reduce the sodium content further by using low-sodium broth or water instead of beef broth. You can also opt for low-sodium French onion soup.
