Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: For the best flavor and texture, use 80% lean ground beef. If you use leaner ground beef, you may need to add a little bit of oil to the pan when cooking.
  • Season the ground beef well: Before cooking the ground beef, season it generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to bring out the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the ground beef over medium heat: Cooking the ground beef over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Be sure to stir the ground beef frequently so that it cooks evenly.
  • Drain the excess grease: Once the ground beef is cooked, drain the excess grease. This will help to reduce the fat content of the dish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, or bell peppers.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The type of cheese that you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. For a classic flavor, use cheddar cheese. For a more unique flavor, try using a different type of cheese, such as mozzarella, Parmesan, or pepper Jack.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The rice will start to absorb the liquid from the sauce, so the dish will become less flavorful if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This ground beef and rice with cheese is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It is a great way to use up leftover ground beef and vegetables, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
