In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef. As it cooks, season with 1 teaspoon seasoning salt, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 2 Tablespoons A1 sauce.
Once beef is mostly browned, spread it over the vegetables in the slow cooker.
Scatter 3 Tablespoons butter, cut into thin slices over the beef.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup uncooked white rice evenly over everything.
In a bowl, mix together 10 ounce can condensed tomato soup and 1 1/2 cups water. Pour over the top of everything in the slow cooker.

When cooking time is complete, turn off the slow cooker. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
