Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive right into making this cheesy delight! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, in a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s fully cooked. The kitchen will smell absolutely mouthwatering as the beef sizzles. Once the meat is browned, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook them for about 5 minutes until they soften. This step really brings out those flavors! Now, stir in the rice, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, garlic powder, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything well, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This will let the rice start soaking up all that delicious broth and flavors. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
