Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces / 305 g) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Place the cooked beef, cooked white rice, condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. Spread the beef and rice mixture in the prepared baking dish, smoothing it into an even layer.
  5. Scatter the remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Baking

  2. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
