A comforting one-skillet meal featuring ground beef, savory rice, and melting cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners or family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting the butter over medium heat in your large skillet.
