This Easy Hamburger Rice Casserole is a hearty, no-fuss dinner that delivers pure comfort with minimal prep. Made with seasoned ground beef, uncooked rice, and savory soups that cook together into a rich, flavorful base, this casserole is finished with buttery pats that melt into the top for a golden, satisfying finish.

Everything bakes in one dish, making it ideal for busy weeknights, family dinners, or make-ahead meals. As the casserole bakes, the rice absorbs the soups and beef juices, becoming tender and deeply flavorful while the top develops a lightly crisp, buttery crust.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef – Provides hearty, savory flavor.
• 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked) – Cooks directly in the casserole.
• 1 can (10.5 oz) French onion soup – Adds deep, savory onion flavor.
• 1 can (10.5 oz) beef consommé – Enhances richness and depth.
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, sliced into pats – Melts into the casserole for moisture and flavor.
• 2 tbsp chopped chives (optional) – For a fresh, mild onion garnish.
