Ingredients
450 g (1 lb) ground beef
½ medium onion, diced
1 tbsp minced garlic
150 g smoked bacon, chopped
2 cups instant rice
480 ml (2 cups) beef broth
120 g (1 cup) shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped pickles (for topping)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparation Steps
Fry the bacon in a large skillet until crisp. Remove to a plate, leaving just enough fat in the pan for flavor.
Add the ground beef and onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion softened, then stir in the garlic and cook briefly.
Season with ketchup, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring until well mixed.
Stir in the rice and beef broth. Cover and let cook over medium heat for 6–7 minutes, until the rice is tender and has soaked up the broth.
Return the bacon to the skillet and stir in half of the cheddar cheese until melted.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover for a few minutes to let it melt, then finish with parsley and pickles before serving.
