1 tsp paprika
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook ground beef with chopped onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with uncooked rice, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, frozen veggies (if using), sour cream, and 1 1/2 cups of cheese.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
