Casserole Recipe ∽ Ground Beef Casserole with Brown Rice

My mother used to make this ground beef casserole for my brother and I when we were kids. Very filling. Takes well to additions and alterations.

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 3 cups cooked brown rice
• 2 cups frozen peas
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend, or to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
3. Mix ground beef, brown rice, peas, soup, milk, soy sauce, and garlic together in a large bowl. Spoon into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese. Cover the baking dish with a lid or foil.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.
