# Ingredients Required:

09 - 3 cups cooked white rice

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set oven to 350°F or 175°C.
02 - Break up ground beef in a big pan over medium heat. Cook until no pink shows. Drain off the fat.
03 - Grab a big bowl and stir together the cooked beef, rice, cream of mushroom soup, milk, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
04 - Put the mix evenly into a 9x13 inch pan.
05 - Scatter the leftover half a cup of cheddar cheese evenly on top.
06 - Bake for about 25 minutes until the cheese melts, turns golden, and bubbles.
07 - Give it a few minutes to rest before you dish it out so it firms up.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Pick lean beef to keep things less greasy. Make the rice ahead to save time. Using sharp cheddar really boosts the taste. You can mix it all before and pop it in the fridge until baking.
