Ingredients
Scale
1 pound of ground beef
1 cup of long-grain rice
2 cups of beef broth
1 can (15 oz) of diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 cups of shredded cheese
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet, over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and chili powder for depth of flavor, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
To the skillet, add the rice, beef broth, and can of diced tomatoes (with juices). Stir well while bringing to a boil.
Cover the skillet, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally.
Once rice is ready, stir in 1.5 cups of shredded cheese until melted and combined.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
