Cheesy Ground Beef Rice Casserole

This was a great hearty supper for our family. They are not too particular on the peas but I love them so every once in a while they just have to suck it up and eat them in a dish that I prepare! :) They actually didn't complain too much so that made it a success in my eyes!
