Follow these simple steps to create your Cheesy Hamburger Rice Casserole:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned. Drain excess fat.
3. Season: Sprinkle in the garlic powder and onion powder while stirring to mix the flavors evenly.
4. Combine Rice and Broth: In a large bowl, combine the uncooked rice and beef broth. Mix well.
5. Add Soup: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup until fully incorporated with the rice and broth.
6. Add Beef: Fold in the browned ground beef, ensuring everything is well mixed.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
9. Add Cheese: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
10. Serve: Take the casserole out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
