Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Dairy

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp butter

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics and Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add ground beef and diced onion. Cook together until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add Rice and Seasoning: Stir in the uncooked rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to coat the rice and beef mixture evenly.
  3. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer gently for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  4. Incorporate Cheese and Milk: Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the milk, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan, and butter until melted and creamy, forming a cheesy buttery sauce throughout the dish.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm as a satisfying main course or side.

Notes

  • Use low sodium beef broth to control salt levels in the dish.
  • Ensure the rice is fully cooked and tender before adding cheese for best texture.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice color contrast and freshness but can be omitted.
  • This dish can be made in one skillet, minimizing cleanup.
  • For extra flavor, you may add a splash of Worcestershire sauce when browning the beef.
