Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ pounds ground beef I used 90% lean
½ sweet onion chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
2 ½ cups Jasmine rice or other long-grain white rice, uncooked
2 cans French Onion soup 10.5 ounce size
2 cans beef consomme or beef broth 10.5 ounce size
⅓ cup water
¾ cup unsalted butter sliced
Fresh chopped parsley or green onions for garnish optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 F and lightly grease a 9×13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, brown ground beef with the chopped onions, and minced garlic.
1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 ½ pounds ground beef, ½ sweet onion, 3 garlic cloves
As it cooks, break the ground beef apart into smaller crumbles and continue to cook until brown and onions start to soften. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
In the prepared casserole dish, add ground beef mixture, uncooked rice, French onion soup, beef consommé, and water. Stir the ingredients to combine.
2 ½ cups Jasmine rice, 2 cans French Onion soup, 2 cans beef consomme or beef broth, ⅓ cup water
Place the slices of butter right on top.
¾ cup unsalted butter
Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender.
Once baked, take a fork and fluff the cooked rice. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions. Enjoy!
