MY GRANDMA'S POOR MANS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Start off with cooking the white rice.
• As the rice is cooking start cooking your beef, I like to season it with pepper and mesquite seasonings, but you can also use garlic salt or any other seasonings you prefer.
• Once the meat and rice is done cooking mix together the meat, rice, and soup.
• Top it with the shredded cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the oven on 375 for about 30 minutes or until the cheddar is bubbly and starting to brown,.
• * Sometimes I like to mix corn into it to give it a little more nutrition/flavor.
