Dietary Swaps:

  • Vegetarian: Omit the ground beef and use a vegetable broth.

Recipe Variations:

  • Make it cheesy, with a handful of finely grated cheese that melts well. Something like sharp cheddar would work really well with this.
  • Switch the meat, for ground sausage, ground turkey, or shredded rotisserie chicken.
  • Make it creamy, by adding a splash of heavy cream.

Tips & Recipe Notes:

  • After beefs cooks, transfer it to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess grease.
  • Start with 3 cups of beef broth. Add extra gradually as needed, jut enough to keep rice and veggies covered while simmering.
  • Rice will absorb broth as it simmers. Test rice at the 10 minute mark and adjust time from there.
