One-Pan Cheeseburger Rice

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion (diced)
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
• 2 cup beef broth
• 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef with the diced onion, breaking the meat apart as it cooks.

2. 2

   Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet.

3. 3

   Season the beef and onion mixture with 0.5 tsp salt, 0.5 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp onion powder.

4. 4

   Add 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce and 1 cup of uncooked long grain white rice to the skillet.

5. 5

   Stir the mixture well to combine and lightly toast the rice for about 1-2 minutes.

6. 6

   Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

7. 7

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

8. 8

   Remove the lid and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

9. 9

   Place the lid back on for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

You can customize this dish by adding typical burger toppings like diced pickles, mustard, or a drizzle of ketchup before serving. For a leaner version, use ground turkey instead of beef.
