  • Lightly spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Transfer the rice mixture to the prepared casserole dish, and spread it out evenly.
  • Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil, and bake at 350° for an hour and 15 minutes.
  • Remove the dish from the oven, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Use a sturdy spoon to stir things around to gently 'fluff' the rice. Then scoop onto plates or into bowls and serve.

Notes

  • Want to add some more flavor? Substitute half of the ground beef for ground sausage.
  • Sneak in some extra veggies and add diced carrot, mushrooms, or even bell peppers.
  • Make sure you cover the casserole tightly before baking so the rice doesn't dry out.
