Description

A quick, easy, and hearty one-pot supper filled with ground beef, broccoli, rice and topped with cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Step: Brown beef with onions and garlic. Season with creole seasoning as you start to brown it.
  2. Step: While meat is browning, mix warm water with bouillon granules and let sit.
  3. Step: Once beef is browned and onions are clear, add bouillon mixture, rice, broccoli, and Rotel. Stir.
  4. Step: Bring it to a boil and then cover and reduce heat to low.
  5. 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.
  6. Step: Taste and season a little more if you prefer.
  7. 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.
