Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup cooked white rice

Instructions

  6. Serve hot, topped with shredded cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based protein for beef.

  • Add extra veggies like corn, zucchini, or carrots.
  • Use brown rice or quinoa for a heartier twist.
  • Freeze before adding rice, then stir in freshly cooked rice when serving.
