This baked onion beef fried rice is an easy oven dinner made with cold rice, savory ground beef, sweet onion, eggs, and mixed vegetables, all baked together until hot and lightly toasted.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked long-grain white rice cold
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. Brown the ground beef until almost cooked through.
- Add diced onion and cook 4 to 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Push beef mixture to one side. Add remaining tablespoon oil to the empty side and scramble the eggs until just set. Stir eggs into beef mixture.

- In a large bowl, toss cold rice and frozen mixed vegetables with the sauce. Stir in the beef, onion, and eggs until evenly mixed.
- Spread mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake 20 minutes. Remove foil, stir well, and spread into an even layer.
- Bake uncovered 10 to 15 minutes, until hot and lightly toasted on the edges.
- Rest 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
Cold rice works best. If using fresh rice, cool it completely and chill it first for a firmer texture.
For a richer finish, stir in 1 tablespoon butter after baking.
If the rice looks dry, add 2 to 3 tablespoons broth, cover with foil, and bake 5 more minutes.
