Creating Beef & Rice Casserole is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent.

4. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with uncooked rice, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, water, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.

5. Transfer to Baker: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

6. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

7. Add Cheese: After 30 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top, and return to the oven.

8. Bake Again: Bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the rice is fully cooked.

9. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
