Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups beef broth

Method
 

  1. Instructions: 1 In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the ground beef.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and beef broth. Sprinkle in the garlic powder and stir everything together.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot. Enjoy!
  7. Notes: You can add veggies like peas, corn, or bell peppers to make it even heartier. Top with some shredded cheese or fresh herbs for extra flavor. This dish makes for great leftovers, just reheat in the microwave for a quick meal.
