Crockpot All Day Beef Casserole

I'm such a ninny. I didn't realize until after I'd cooked this that it's the same exact recipe as the Gone All Day Casserole that I've been making for years.  The difference is that I always use chicken when I make it.  I didn't even pay attention to the ingredients when I made it.  Oops!  Anyway, since it's the first time I've made it with beef, it is kind of like a new recipe for me, lol.  We did enjoy it.  I left it for the full 8 hours, and the rice was way too mushy.  It does better at about 6 hours, in my opinion.  The flavor is really, really good, though.
