Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef providing a rich, hearty base
  • 1 piece onion (chopped) lending sweetness and depth of flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) adding aromatic qualities
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juice) contributing moisture and vibrancy
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup creating a creamy texture
  • 1 cup cooked rice providing bulk and satiety
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) offering color and nutrition
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning bringing a hint of herbaceousness
  • Salt and pepper to taste enhancing all the flavors
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese adding a gooey, cheesy finish
  • 1 cup crushed crackers (for topping) creating a crunchy contrast

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with juice), cream of mushroom soup, cooked rice, frozen mixed vegetables, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until combined.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Pour the beef mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish and spread it evenly.
  2. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, then add the crushed crackers.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until heated through and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Use lean ground beef to reduce fat; consider adding bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrition. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave. Cover with foil in the oven to prevent drying out.
