02 -
1 medium yellow onion, diced
03 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
100 g bacon, cooked and chopped
05 -
150 g shredded sharp cheddar cheese
→ Seasonings

1 teaspoon seasoned salt
→ Sauces & Condiments
07 -
120 ml tomato sauce
08 -
2 tablespoons ketchup
09 -
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
→ Rice & Liquid
10 -
250 g instant white rice (Minute rice)
11 -
400 ml beef broth
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Sauté, breaking the meat into small crumbles as it browns, until the beef is cooked through and onion is translucent, about 6–8 minutes.
02 -
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Drain excess grease to prevent an oily texture.
03 -
Sprinkle seasoned salt over the beef mixture, stirring to distribute evenly.
04 -
Add tomato sauce, ketchup, and yellow mustard to the pan. Stir until well combined and the mixture is cohesive.
05 -
Mix in instant rice and pour in beef broth. Stir to combine, then bring to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 2–3 minutes, just until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
06 -
Reduce heat to low. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar and half of the chopped bacon, mixing until the cheese melts and the mixture is creamy.
07 -
Sprinkle remaining cheese and bacon over the top. Remove skillet from heat, cover with a lid, and let stand 2–3 minutes until cheese melts before serving.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
For best flavor, cook bacon until very crisp and drain thoroughly to prevent soggy texture.
02 -
Allow the residual heat to fully melt the cheese topping for an appealing presentation.
03 -
Choose sharp cheddar for maximum flavor impact against the rich beef and tangy condiments.
