Description
A delicious and hearty cheesy beef casserole that combines savory ground beef, tender rice, and melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and soft, about 10 minutes.
- Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking apart the meat as it cooks.

- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
- Pour the remaining beef broth over the casserole mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish goes perfectly with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Choose halal options for beef.
- White rice adds a classic touch, while brown rice gives a wholesome bite.
- Sweet or yellow onions work best for a rich flavor.
- Ensure beef broth is halal-certified for the key flavor component.
- Try mozzarella or cheddar for enhanced creaminess.
