Description
A quick, easy, and hearty one-pot supper filled with ground beef, broccoli, rice and topped with cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ground beef (ground round or sirloin works great)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tsp creole seasoning
- 3 cups warm water
- 2 tsp beef bouillon granules or 2 cubes
- 2 cups rice
- 1 lb. frozen cut broccoli
- 1/2 can mild Rotel
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Colby Jack
- Optional: fresh parsley
Instructions
- Step: Brown beef with onions and garlic. Season with creole seasoning as you start to brown it.
- Step: While meat is browning, mix warm water with bouillon granules and let sit.
- Step: Once beef is browned and onions are clear, add bouillon mixture, rice, broccoli, and Rotel. Stir.
- Step: Bring it to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to low.
- Step: Cook for 20 minutes. Do not lift lid during this time. Stir and check to see if rice is done. If not, add a little more water, cover and cook a little longer.
- Step: Taste and season a little more if you prefer.
- Step: Top with cheese, cover, and let cheese melt. Serve with a little fresh parsley.
Notes
I only add a half-can of Rotel because I have a few picky eaters. Go ahead and add the whole can if you’d like. Use a non-stick pot for easy clean-up. I use medium-grain rice. You may want to increase the cooking time for long grain or brown rice. Beef broth can be substituted for water with bouillon granules/cubes. I use different cheeses and whatever I have on hand. Colby Jack or Cheddar are usually my go-to cheeses for one-pot meals.
