🧾 Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup uncooked white or brown rice
• 2 ½ cups beef broth or water
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• Optional: fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Brown the Beef

In a large skillet or oven-safe pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

3. Add the Base Ingredients

Stir in uncooked rice, diced tomatoes (with juices), beef broth, frozen veggies, and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a light simmer.

4. Cover and Cook

If using an oven-safe pan, cover tightly with foil or a lid. If not, transfer to a greased 9×13 casserole dish and cover.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
