This one-pan garlic butter beef and rice skillet is a creamy, cheesy comfort meal made with ground beef, rice, garlic, broth, and melted cheese, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 cup Rice uncooked
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Onion chopped
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Season Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 4 to 5 Garlic Cloves minced
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 2 to 3 tablespoon Butter
- 2 cup Beef Broth
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking the beef apart as it cooks. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.
- Add the minced garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, season salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the uncooked rice and pour in the beef broth. Mix well and bring everything to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in the remaining butter, milk, parmesan cheese, and cheddar cheese. Cook uncovered for a few minutes, stirring gently, until the cheese is fully melted and the skillet is creamy.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.

Recipe Tips
For extra flavor, use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded. It melts smoother and gives the skillet a creamier texture without clumping.
