Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 6 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup white or long-grain rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or deep sauté pan, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan using a slotted spoon and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in the pan.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Cook over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, if needed.

Step 3

Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is softened and translucent.

Step 4

Add the uncooked rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the grains in the mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the rice is cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked bacon. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy your bacon cheeseburger-inspired comfort meal!
