Instructions

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.

While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the condensed tomato soup and chili powder; cook until heated through.

Spread 1/3 of the rice into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and cover with 1/3 of the ground beef mixture. Place 2 slices of processed cheese over the meat, then cover with 2 more layers of rice and meat. Arrange the remaining 6 slices of cheese over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole has heated through and the cheese is bubbly and browned, about 20 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
Grate or cube the Velveeta and add it off the heat to prevent separation, stirring until perfectly smooth and creamy.
Rice Texture Secret 🍚
Rinse the rice before cooking to remove excess starch, ensuring fluffy and separate grains that won't clump together.
Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️
Toast the chili powder in the pan with the beef for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to unlock its deep, rich flavor profile.
Soup Concentration Hack 🥣
Use low-sodium tomato soup and adjust seasoning yourself for better control over the dish's final salt and flavor balance.
One-Pan Perfection 🍳
Use a deep cast-iron skillet to develop a delicious fond and ensure even heat distribution throughout the cooking process.
