Spanish Rice and Beef Casserole

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is such a wonderful-tasting beef/rice casserole, and easy to prepare, no need any side dish, everything is cooked in one dish, well... maybe just a side salad. This will become a regular dish, when you taste this. (Note: as the recipe calls for peas to be added in at the end, but you can use any kind of veggie desired)"

Tastes great! Did have to bake it a bit longer than stated, and still some of the rice was a wee bit crunchy. Topped with some cheese and browned that on top after baking the casserole. Also switched in green beans for the peas and added them with the rice etc.. Yummy!
