Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup white rice, uncooked
• 1 14-ounce can tomato sauce
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the uncooked white rice, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
