Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- ½ cup tomato sauce
Instructions
- Brown Beef: In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, crumble and cook the ground beef until fully browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
- Add Rice, Broth, and Sauce: Once the beef is browned, stir in the uncooked rice, beef broth, and tomato sauce until well combined.
- Cover and Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the mixture simmer gently until the rice is fully cooked and tender, approximately 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
- For more flavor, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder before cooking the beef.
- If using white rice, adjust liquid ratios accordingly if substituting with other types like brown rice.
- Let the pot sit covered off the heat for 5 minutes after cooking to allow rice to fluff.
