Beefy Garlic Butter Bowl (Printable Version)
# What You’ll Need:
01 -
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
02 -
1 lb of ground beef
03 -
1 small diced onion
04 -
4 minced garlic cloves
05 -
1/2 cup milk
06 -
1 cup shredded cheddar
07 -
1/2 cup Parmesan, grated
08 -
3 cups beef broth (low sodium)
09 -
Salt and pepper as needed
10 -
1 tsp of Italian seasoning
11 -
3 tbsp butter
12 -
Fresh parsley (optional) - 2 tablespoons, chopped
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a big skillet on medium heat. Toss in your chopped onion and give it 3 to 4 minutes to soften.
02 -
Drop the ground beef into the pan. Let it cook while breaking it apart until it changes color. If there's extra fat, drain it out.
03 -
Add your minced garlic to the skillet and let it hang out for a minute, stirring until the smell is strong.
04 -
Pour in the uncooked rice, beef broth, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt. Give it a good stir to combine everything.
05 -
Crank up the heat to boil, then bring it down to low. Pop a lid on and let it cook for 18 to 20 minutes, just until the rice soaks up the broth and softens.
06 -
Grab a small saucepan. On low heat, melt up 2 more tablespoons of butter. Stir in Parmesan, cheddar, and milk. Keep at it until it's creamy and smooth.
07 -
Take the cheese sauce you've made and pour it into the skillet with the cooked beef and rice mixture. Stir until it all comes together nicely.
08 -
Cook uncovered for a couple more minutes so the flavors mesh. Throw some parsley on top if you like, and serve it warm.
# Additional Notes:

Using freshly grated cheese makes the taste even richer and better!
