Ingredients
Instructions
- Fry the hamburger, chopped celery, and chopped onion until browned.
- Mix the cooked mixture with the cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, and rice in a baking dish.
- Bake the casserole at 350°F for 2 hours or at 300°F for 3 hours until thoroughly cooked and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider seasoning the hamburger with garlic powder or Italian seasoning while browning. If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, you can substitute it with an equal amount of cream of celery soup. Additionally, using brown rice can increase the dish's nutritional value, though it may require a longer baking time. Adjust liquid accordingly if using brown rice.

Serve this hearty casserole with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Zucchini-Carrot Au Gratin for a comforting dinner. For a complete feast, consider serving with dinner rolls to soak up the creamy sauce.
