Additionally, letting the casserole sit for a few minutes after baking allows the flavors to meld together while making it easier to serve.
If you find your casserole too dry, add a splash of chicken broth before placing it back in the oven. To pair a drink with your Cheesy Chicken and Rice Casserole, consider serving a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a light-bodied red wine such as Pinot Noir.
Alternatively, a reviving iced tea or sparkling water with a hint of lemon can also complement the dish nicely.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 8 oz pasta (penne, rotini, or your choice)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
- Add the broccoli and beef broth to the skillet and cook until the broccoli is tender, approximately 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked pasta, beef mixture, and cream of mushroom soup. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For ingredient suggestions and replacements, you can swap out the ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter dish. Additionally, if you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, you can use cream of chicken soup or a homemade béchamel sauce for a similar flavor.
Variations of this dish are abundant. You can add additional vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or even spinach for extra nutrition. Experimenting with different types of cheese, like cheddar or gouda, can also enhance the flavor. For a little heat, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.

Additionally, let the casserole sit for a few minutes after baking before serving to help the layers set.
To pair with a drink, consider serving a light-bodied red wine, such as Pinot Noir, or a revitalizing iced tea or lemonade for a non-alcoholic option. These beverages will complement the hearty flavors of the Beef and Broccoli Pasta Bake beautifully.
