Ground beef, toasted rice and snapped angel hair simmer together in beef broth until creamy, then get folded with tender broccoli and two kinds of melted cheese. A whole dinner in one pot, no boxed mix required.

Ingredients

  • 1 poundground beef
  • —minced garlic · a lot — "a metric ton"
  • —dehydrated minced onion
  • —all-purpose seasoning · whatever blend you like
  • 1 1/2 cupsrice
  • 1/4 poundangel hair pasta · snapped into small pieces
  • —avocado oil · as needed if the pan is dry
  • 1 boxbeef broth
  • 1 cupwater
  • 1 crownbroccoli · chopped into tiny florets
  • 1 cupfreshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • —shredded Tuscan cheese blend · added to taste

Steps

  1. 1

    Brown the ground beef in a large pot, chopping it up as it cooks, until it is truly browned rather than gray. Wash your hands after handling the raw meat and its packaging.

  2. 2

    If the beef is lean, leave the fat in the pan. Stir in the minced garlic, dehydrated minced onion, and all-purpose seasoning.

  3. 3

    Add the rice and the snapped angel hair pasta and toast them in the fat left in the pan, adding a little avocado oil if the pan looks dry.

  4. 4

    Spread everything into an even layer, then pour in the beef broth and the water. Simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed.

  5. 5

    Stir in the finely chopped broccoli florets.

  6. 6

    Add the shredded cheddar and the Tuscan cheese blend, then turn off the heat.

  7. 7

    Stir everything together, cover with a lid, and let it sit so the broccoli finishes cooking and the cheese melts through before serving.

Creator's notes

Made up on the fly from whatever was on hand — prepped garlic, shredded cheese, and a crown of broccoli meant for other meals. Homemade riseroni instead of a boxed mix; break the pasta smaller if you like, it just tends to jump out of the pan.
