1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 cup water
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

Crumble beef into a large bowl. Stir in soup, onion, rice, water and
soup mix; mix well. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cover
and bake at 350° for 1 hour. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 minutes
longer or until the cheese is melted. Yield: 4-6 servings.

If you plan on taking Covered Dish Dinner to a potluck, prepare as
directed (omit the cheese until ready to bake) and freeze. Thaw in the
refrigerator overnight. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 1 hour before
leaving for the potluck.
