Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cups (24 ounces / 720 g) beef broth
  • 1 cup (185 g) long-grain white rice, rinsed
  • 3 cups (273 g) chopped broccoli florets
  • ¾ cup (85 g) sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ¾ cup (85 g) mild cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook for 5–6 minutes, breaking the meat apart as it browns. Once no longer pink, drain excess grease, if needed.
  • Add onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to evenly coat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Pour in the Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, stir in the chopped broccoli. Cover and continue to simmer for another 5–7 minutes, or until rice is tender and most of the liquid has absorbed.
  • In a small bowl, combine the white cheddar and mild cheddar cheese.
  • Stir in half of the cheese mixture until melted and fully incorporated.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Remove from heat, cover, and let rest for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  • Serve warm.
