How to Make French Onion Ground Beef and Rice Casserole
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef with the cooked white rice, condensed French onion soup, and sour cream. Stir until everything is well incorporated and creamy.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Spread the beef and rice mixture evenly in the baking dish. Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
