Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 cup of long-grain white rice

2 cups beef broth (or water)

1 cup diced bell peppers (mix of colors)

1 cup chopped onions

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess grease if necessary.

      Sauté Veggies: Add diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

        Add Rice and Broth: Stir in the rice, beef broth, frozen corn, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

          Simmer: Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick.

            Cheesy Finish: Once the rice is fluffy and tender, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover again for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt beautifully.

              Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy this hearty, cheesy skillet meal!
