Ground Beef Rice Skillet Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (4 ounce) can green chiles
• 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 1/2 cups beef stock, low sodium
• 1 1/4 cup long grain rice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. 1

   Brown the Beef: Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally, then drain any excess fat to avoid a greasy dish.

2. 2

   Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 2 minutes until the onions soften and become translucent, stirring occasionally.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes, Chiles, Stock, and Rice: Stir in the green chiles, undrained diced tomatoes, low sodium beef stock, long grain rice, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

4. 4

   Simmer Rice and Beef Mixture: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquids.

5. 5

   Melt the Cheese: Turn off the heat, remove the cover, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Replace the cover and let it sit for about 5 minutes so the cheese melts nicely.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the skillet just before serving to add a touch of color and freshness.
