Step 1: Brown the Ground Beef

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Drain excess grease if needed.

Step 2: Assemble the Casserole

1. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, combine:

   • Uncooked rice
   • Cooked beef mixture
   • Cream of mushroom soup
   • Cream of chicken soup
   • Beef broth
   • Worcestershire sauce
   • Salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder

2. Stir everything together until well mixed.

Step 3: Bake the Casserole

1. Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil (this helps the rice cook evenly).
2. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
3. If using cheese, remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top, and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes until melted.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

1. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
3. Serve hot and enjoy this easy, comforting meal!
