Hamburger Rice

A hearty, one-pan comfort food classic! Ground beef and rice cooked together in savory beef broth for a simple, satisfying meal that the whole family will love. Customize with your favorite vegetables and cheese for a complete dinner.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown ground beef with onion.

  2. 2

    In a small pan, boil water and add bouillon cubes to make beef broth. Boil until dissolved.

  3. 3

    Combine rice, beef broth, and ground beef in a 2-quart baking dish.

  4. 4

    Bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes or until all water is absorbed and rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Do not overcook or rice will be dry.

  6. 6

    **Note:** If you want to add bell peppers, you'll need to add it while you are browning ground beef and onion.

  7. 7

    **Note:** Add the cheese after you pull the dish from the oven and mix well before serving.
