Steps:
- In a deep skillet (with a lid), saute the onions and carrots in the olive oil about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook mixture until beef is browned. Drain any excess fat/liquid off the pan.
- Sprinkle brown gravy dry mix, onion soup mix, soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic salt and pepper over the beef mixture and stir well.
- Add 4 cups of hot water and rice to the mixture, stir well. Turn heat down to medium low, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Depending on the kind of rice you use and your altitude, you may need to cook it a little longer and adjust the water accordingly. Rice should be firm but not crunchy.).
- When liquid is nearly gone and rice is done, stir in cream of mushroom soup. Heat 5 more minutes with the lid on.
- TIPS: For an Oriental flair, try adding thinly sliced celery and water chestnuts when you saute the onions and carrots. Or for a more home-style flavor, stir in a can of corn or green beans when you stir in the soup at the end.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice. Use a medium-grain rice such as Arborio or Carnaroli for a creamy texture. If you only have long-grain rice on hand, rinse it thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Cook the rice in broth. This will add flavor and depth to the casserole. You can use beef broth, chicken broth, or vegetable broth, depending on your preference.
- Brown the beef well. This will help to develop the flavor of the casserole. Be sure to drain any excess fat before adding the beef to the casserole dish.
- Use a flavorful cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will add a nice cheesy flavor to the casserole. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar and Parmesan.
- Don't overcook the casserole. The rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will become mushy and ruin the texture of the casserole.
Conclusion:
This creamy beef and rice casserole is a hearty and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy sauce, tender beef, and fluffy rice, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
