Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Long-grain white rice
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease if needed.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the long-grain white rice and cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and add the dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

Step 7

Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Cover the skillet again and let it rest for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.

Step 9

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and chives before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
