What you need, a bowl and casserole dish, both about 2 quarts (2 liters) in size
Preheat oven to 350°F
Break up your ground beef into the bowl
Just add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl except cheese and green onions if using.
Just mix the ingredients in the bowl together
Give your casserole dish a spray with oil. Dump your meat mixture into the dish.
Even the top out. Cover and place in oven. MAKE SURE IT IS COVERED. If it is not covered your rice will not cook!
Bake for one hour.
Remove from oven, uncover, sprinkle cheese on top. Place back in oven (uncovered) until cheese is melted and optionally browned to your desire.
Remove from oven, cover, let sit for 10 minutes to let the rice settle and the whole thing to solidify some before serving.
Serve, garnish with green onion, cilantro or parsley if desired.
