Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks, sliced (optional, for garnish) green onions
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.
Stir in the long-grain white rice, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is cooked, remove the pan from heat. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese on top of the dish. Cover the pan for a few minutes to let the cheese melt.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Cheeseburger Rice!
