1 cup chicken broth
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheese

Instructions
Preparing the Beef Mixture
Preheat the Skillet: Spray a skillet with cooking spray and set it over high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the diced onions and roast them for a couple of minutes until they become translucent.
Ezoic
Add Garlic and Beef: Add the garlic powder and ground beef to the skillet. Brown the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
Seasoning: Once the beef is browned, reduce the heat to medium. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
Combining Ingredients
Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the frozen peas, cooked rice, tomato sauce, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and chicken broth. Allow the mixture to simmer for around three minutes, ensuring all ingredients are fully combined.
Baking the Casserole
Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the mixture into a casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
First Bake: Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and starts to bubble.
Adding the Topping
Prepare the Topping: In a bowl, combine the sour cream and the remaining cup of shredded cheese. Whisk together until smooth and well-mixed.
Add Topping to Casserole: Remove the casserole from the oven. Pour the sour cream and cheese mixture evenly over the top.
Second Bake: Increase the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbling.
Serving
Cool and Serve: Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Scoop out portions onto a serving plate and enjoy!
