My hubby simply can’t get enough of this one! I like to call it “Hubby Addiction”

This Cheddar Crusted Ground Beef and Rice Casserole is a comforting dish that brings warmth to any family dinner. It’s a hearty meal that’s perfect for those chilly Midwestern evenings when you want something filling and delicious. The combination of savory ground beef, tender rice, and a crispy cheddar crust makes it a family favorite. It’s also a great way to use up pantry staples and create a meal that everyone will love.

This casserole pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables like broccoli or green beans. You might also consider serving it with some crusty bread to soak up any extra sauce. For a bit of freshness, a side of sliced tomatoes or a cucumber salad would complement the rich flavors nicely.
