Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Rice Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat to create a rich base for the dish.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until it releases its fragrant aroma, about 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn it.
- Brown Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until fully browned and no longer pink.
- Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the rice, then pour in the beef broth, mixing well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes.
- Melt Cheese: Once the rice is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts smoothly into the dish, creating a creamy texture.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste, stir well, and serve hot for a delicious comforting meal.
Notes
- Use long-grain white rice for best texture and cooking time.
- For extra richness, you can add a splash of cream or milk when stirring in the cheese.
- Feel free to swap beef broth with chicken or vegetable broth if preferred.
- This recipe can be doubled easily by increasing ingredients proportionally and using a larger skillet.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on stovetop or microwave.
