1
can
10.5-ounce tomato soup
1
cup
shredded cheese
1
green bell pepper

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain the extra fat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, browned beef, tomato soup, and chopped green bell pepper.
Pour the mixture into a baking dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Drain the ground beef after browning to remove extra fat.
Use pre-cooked rice to save time.
If using substitutions like quinoa or cauliflower rice, adjust cooking time as needed.
Feel free to add spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper for extra kick.
You can make this dish in advance and refrigerate it before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
