Description

A comforting dish combining ground beef, fresh broccoli, hearty rice, and gooey cheddar cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until nicely browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in the rice and pour in the beef broth, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes or until rice is tender.

  6. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  7. Serve warm.

Notes

Opt for lean ground beef to minimize grease. For broccoli, add it earlier for a softer texture if preferred.
