2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked

Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook Ground Beef:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic salt until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles.
Assemble Casserole:
Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the cooked ground beef on top of the rice.
Add Liquids:
Pour in the beef consommé, French onion soup, and water over the beef and rice. Gently stir to combine.
Add Butter:
Arrange the sliced butter evenly on top of the casserole mixture.
Bake Covered:
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Bake Uncovered:
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the rice is tender.
Serve:
Fluff the casserole with a fork before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
For added richness, sprinkle grated cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère, over the casserole during the last 10 minutes of baking.
