Hamburger and Rice Casserole Recipe

I love making a variety of casserole dinners for my family and I love making them to give as get well gifts when friends or family are ill. In my opinion, casseroles are always appreciated when someone is not feeling well & it saves them from cooking.

This hamburger and rice casserole is one that I make often for my own family and one that I like to make & give to others. It's really easy to prepare and tastes delicious. If you are pressed for time and want to reduce the cooking time...use cooked rice and bake the casserole for 12 to 15 minutes or until done.
