Instructions

1
|
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.
2
|
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
3
|
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.
4
|
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.
5
|
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 at the very end of cooking, stirring gently to create smooth, even cheese distribution without breaking the sauce.
  • Soup Depth Trick 🥄
    Before adding tomato soup, deglaze the pan with a splash of red wine or beef broth to capture all the flavorful browned bits from the ground beef.
  • Chili Powder Layer 🌶️
    Toast the chili powder in the pan with the meat for 30-45 seconds before adding other liquids to unlock its full aromatic potential and reduce raw spice bitterness.
  • Rice Absorption Technique 🍚
    Rinse rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch, ensuring each grain remains separate and perfectly tender in the final dish.
  • One-Pan Efficiency 🍳
    Use the same skillet for browning meat, building sauce, and final cooking to maximize flavor development and minimize cleanup.
