Ingredients for Cheesy Beef & Rice Skillet Meal:

1 cup of chopped onions
1 cup of diced bell pepper
2 large diced Roma tomatoes
1 cup of Jasmine or long-grain rice, rinsed
2½ cups of freshly grated Colby jack cheese
¾ tsp of salt, or to taste
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
½ tsp of black pepper
1½ tsp of onion powder
½ tsp of ground cumin
1 tsp of paprika
A small bunch of chopped cilantro or parsley
2½ cups of beef broth, or 2½ tsp of Knorr Beef Bouillon with 2½ cups of hot water

How to Make Cheesy Beef & Rice Skillet Meal:

Step 1

Place a skillet on a stove over medium-high heat, then cook the ground beef until nice and brown, and drain off the grease. Move the cooked beef to one side, then pour the rice into the space, and add in the onions as well. Mix the rice and onion, then toast for about 2.5 minutes, add the garlic and give them a good stir to combine.

Step 2

Now, add the bell pepper and tomatoes, then mix everything until well combined, and season them with onion powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Pour in the beef broth, then cover the skillet with the lid, and cook the rice for about 15 to 18 minutes until all liquid is gone.

Step 3

Once ready, add the cilantro or parsley, then cover the top with cheese, and set it in the middle rack of a preheated oven. Allow it to bake at 400°F for about 5 minutes until the cheese has melted, then serve, and enjoy!
