Beef and Rice Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef, 80/20
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Shredded cheddar cheese, for serving
• Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the diced onion and cook until it's translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
4. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the uncooked rice, beef broth, diced tomatoes, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
8. Fluff the beef and rice mixture with a fork and serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
