Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients, including a large skillet and a mixing bowl.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground beef until browned (5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.

Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 can of creamy mushroom soup and 1 cup of beef broth until combined.

Add 1 cup of uncooked rice and mix until well incorporated.

If using vegetables, add them now along with salt, pepper, and any desired spices.

Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
