Cheeseburger Rice by @cookinginthemidwest
Ground beef, rice, and cheese cooked together in one pan for an easy dinner.
Rice is a simple staple that works with almost any meal. It cooks into soft grains that soak up sauces and seasonings, making it a reliable base for bowls, stir fries, and skillet dinners.
Rinse rice before cooking if you want lighter, separate grains. This removes some of the surface starch.
Most white rice cooks in about 15–20 minutes, while brown rice takes longer and needs more liquid.
Once the rice is cooked, let it sit covered for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
Leftover rice is great for fried rice or quick skillet meals the next day.
