Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1.5 cups instant white rice
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- pickle slices (optional, for garnish)
- green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, stir in the instant white rice. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
Serve immediately, garnished with pickle slices and sliced green onions, if desired. Enjoy!
