Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  7. Bring mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed.
  8. Stir the mixture, then top evenly with shredded cheese.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative to beef.
  • Swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa for added fiber.
  • Make it spicy by adding crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
