Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp each smoked paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup Jasmine rice rinsed
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 2-3 tbsp Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 pieces of bacon cooked and crumbled
  • Dried parsley

Instructions

  • If you don’t have any bacon leftover from breakfast cook your bacon, drain the grease, and chop it into small pieces. To keep this recipe even easier you could use bacon bits.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and spread out evenly in pan. Add the chopped onion and season with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Once the beef is almost cooked add the minced garlic and add the rinsed rice to the center of the skillet and let toast for a couple of minutes.
  • Add the beef broth to the skillet and stir well. Bring the whole skillet to a quick boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover with a lid.
  • Let cook covered for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked. Add the cream cheese, 2-3 tbsp of Parmesan garlic sauce, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Stir everything together well.
  • Top with a little bit more cheese and the crumbled bacon. Cover with the lid to let the cheese melt or pop it in the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes.
  • Top with dried parsley. Enjoy! Let me know if you try it out!

Notes

See my Frequently Asked Questions section for more tips!
  • I used 1 lb of ground beef, but you could make this recipe with ground turkey, ground chicken, or even chicken breast! Check out my Parmesan Garlic Chicken and Rice recipe to make this meal with chicken breast.
  • I have found that Jasmine rice cooks consistently in one-pan beef and rice skillet meals! If you use a different type of rice you may need to let the rice cook longer or add more beef broth.
  • If you don't want to use bottled Parmesan Garlic sauce, it's easy to make homemade Garlic Parm sauce! Any store-bought sauce or a homemade version will work in this recipe.
  • If you don't have leftover bacon from breakfast and don't feel like cooking bacon, bacon bits would be a good substitute.
  • The 2 oz of cream cheese adds richness and a creamy texture, but you can skip it to keep the dish lighter.
  • This dish was not spicy, but if you don’t want any heat be sure to go light on the sauce. If too much is used it could end up spicy.
