Equipment

1 skillet

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 4 ounce can green chiles
1-10 ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
1 ½ cups beef stock low sodium
1 ¼ cup long grain rice
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat a 12 inch skillet on medium high heat and brown the ground beef. Drain any extra fat.
Add in the diced onion, garlic and salt and pepper and cook another 2 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Add in the green chiles, tomatoes, beef stock and rice, Worcestershire sauce, stir and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
Turn off the heat remove the cover and sprinkle the cheese on top, add the cover back and let it sit about 5 minutes to melt.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve!

Notes

Make sure you drain any extra fat from the ground beef to prevent the casserole from being greasy.

I use jasmine rice but any long-grain rice will work.

If your rice isn’t tender after 20 minutes cover it back up and continue cooking until the rice isdone.
