- Season the casserole well: Season the casserole generously with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the beef and vegetables.
- Use a flavorful rice blend: A flavorful rice blend will help to elevate the flavor of the casserole. Look for a blend that includes long-grain rice, wild rice, and brown rice.
- Don't overcook the casserole: Overcooking the casserole will make the rice mushy and the beef dry. Cook the casserole until the rice is tender and the beef is cooked through.
