Description

 

This easy, one-dish casserole combines frozen meatballs, hearty rice, and a creamy mushroom sauce for a comforting, no-fuss meal. Topped with melted mozzarella cheese, it’s a family favorite that’s ready in about 90 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb frozen meatballs
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a 9×13-inch baking dish, combine frozen meatballs, uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and frozen peas. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
  • After 1 hour, remove the foil, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use any type of frozen meatballs (beef, turkey, or chicken) depending on your preference.
  • If you prefer a slightly thicker casserole, use less beef broth or substitute with chicken broth for a different flavor.
  • For extra flavor, feel free to add garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to the casserole before baking.
