Notes

  1. Taste For Seasoning: Make sure to sample the rice and beef mixture while cooking on the stove, and before placing it in the oven.  Once the rice is just cooked, it is ready for assembly and baking. Time will vary depending upon heat and type of pan.
  2. Thawing: Make sure the veggies are thawed so the temperature of the beef mixture is not affected too much. The temperature of the mixture will determine the cooking time.
  3. Baking Dish: Use a 9x13 baking dish and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Clean-up will be quick and easy.
  4. Oven Rack: Place the dish in the middle rack of the oven.  This will ensure even cookin
