Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, chopped celery, and diced green bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, softened vegetables, uncooked rice, water, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to help trap the steam and properly cook the rice.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and stir the dish to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the hot dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting Hamburger Rice Hot Dish!
