This was one of the most popular lunches our school cooks made for us. My family also loves it. It's an easy weeknight dinner and also freezes well. I often make a double batch and freeze one pan for later.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This hamburger rice cheese casserole is a budget-friendly weeknight meal that comes together quickly. It's creamy and cheesy. Corn adds a sweet contrast to the savory ground beef, creamed soups, and rice. This is a dinner kids and adults will love.
