Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion white or yellow
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon pepper
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup ketchup
1 cup long-grain white rice rinsed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
burger toppings optional for serving

Instructions

In a large skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and ½ cup diced onion. Cook for 3 minutes, until tender. Add 1 pound lean ground beef. Crumble and cook until browned, about 7 minutes.
Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Season with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
Add 2 cups beef broth, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ⅓ cup ketchup, and 1 cup long-grain white rice and stir to combine.
Bring the rice mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the rice mixture. Heat until the cheese melts.
Enjoy with your favorite burger toppings! Try shredded lettuce, tomato, pickles, and burger sauce!
