Hamburger Zucchini Bake

1 lb. hamburger
3 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sliced green onions, including the tops

2 teaspoons chili powder
1 small can chopped green chilies
3 cups cooked rice
 1 cup sour cream
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 large fresh tomato, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste

Saute the hamburger, zucchini, onions and seasonings in a lightly greased skillet until meat is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender, stirring frequently. Add the green chilies, rice, sour cream and 1 cup of the cheese. Turned into a greased shallow 2 quart casserole dish. Arrange the tomatoes slices on top. (Optional- save the tomatoes until after cooking and place them on top.) Season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
