Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onion and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is fully browned and no longer pink.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet, if needed.
Stir in the garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper, mixing well to combine the seasonings with the beef and onion.
Add the uncooked white rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the beef and onion mixture.
Pour in the beef broth, the cream of mushroom soup, and the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, stirring everything together.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, mixing until the cheese is melted and the casserole is creamy.
Taste the casserole and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot and enjoy your cheesy hamburger rice casserole.
