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 and pepper, to taste

Dairy & Cheese

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

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Onion: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
  2. Browns the Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Garlic Time: Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Mix in Rice and Broth: Pour in uncooked rice, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  5. Simmer Away: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Create Cheese Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add Parmesan cheese, shredded cheddar, and milk. Stir continuously until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
  7. Blend Everything Together: Pour the cheese sauce into the skillet with the cooked beef and rice mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly combined.
  8. Final Touch: Cook uncovered for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use low sodium beef broth to control salt levels.
  • Feel free to substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, increase the milk to 3/4 cup.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
