Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks, sliced (optional, for garnish) green onions

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened.

Step 3

Stir in the long-grain white rice, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), ketchup, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Once the rice is cooked, remove the pan from heat. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and evenly distributed.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese on top of the dish. Cover the pan for a few minutes to let the cheese melt.

Step 7

Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your Cheeseburger Rice!
