Steps:
- Prepare rice in microwave according to instructions. Cut off tops of pepper; remove seeds and white membranes. Discard stems; dice tops fine.

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked rice or quinoa instead of cooking it from scratch.
- If you don't have a microwave-safe casserole dish, you can use a regular casserole dish and cook the casserole in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the rice is heated through.
- For a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the ground beef mixture.
- To make the casserole more kid-friendly, omit the jalapeños and use mild salsa instead of medium or hot salsa.
- Serve the casserole with sour cream, guacamole, and chopped cilantro for garnish.
