Putting a Spin on Tradition: Our Take on Beefy Onion Soup Casserole
Jump to RecipeHey there, fellow food enthusiasts! Today, we’re taking a delightful detour into the world of vintage recipes with a modern twist. Our star of the day is a Beefy Onion Soup Casserole, initially discovered in a cherished Campbell’s Soup cookbook. We know life sometimes throws curveballs, and our pantries might only sometimes have every ingredient. No worries, though! We’re all about turning recipes into flexible guidelines, making delicious adaptations with the treasures hiding in our kitchen cabinets.
Picture this: a bubbling, cheesy, and oh-so-satisfying casserole that warms your soul and taste buds. Our journey begins with the basics – ground beef, onion soup mix, and a sprinkle of garlic powder for that extra punch. The original recipe called for the classic Campbell’s touch with their brand of onion soup concentrate and beef consommĂ©, but fear not if it’s not in your pantry – we’re switching things up with packets of onion soup mix and a rich beef gravy for that same comforting essence.
Add half a stick of butter, long-grain rice, and water for the final touch. You will want to use regular long-grain rice for this recipe. Minute rice or any other fast cooking variation will not cook properly. We also chose to add a golden layer of cheddar cheese on top because everything is better with cheese, right? So, grab your apron, get ready to improvise, and embark on a delicious journey where recipes are merely stepping stones to your kitchen creativity! 🌟
