Ingredients

  • 1 Tbs olive oil
  • 3 cubes Dorot crushed garlic
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup brown rice
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces petite diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 1/2 cups cheese
  • 1/3 cup milk or heavy cream
  • Green onion for garnish

Instructions

  • In a skillet, heat 1 Tbs of olive oil over medium high heat. I love my Anolon Skilletsbecause they are oven safe up to 400 degrees and they are non-stick and are metal utensil safe.
  • Add Dorot crushed garlic, and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add ground beef, and seasonings (cumin, chili powder, onion powder, salt and pepper), and brown the beef.
  • When the beef is browned add brown rice, tomatoes (with liquid), and chicken stock.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, turn down to let simmer, and cook for 30-35 minutes, to let the rice cook fully.
  • Once rice is cooked. stir in cheese and milk.
  • Once cheese is melty and distributed, remove from heat, garnish with green onion, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Then enjoy! Great with fresh tomato, avocado, and cilantro too!
