Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- 2
Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes, beef broth, and rinsed white rice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- 4
Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef and rice mixture.
- 5
Cover the skillet again (or place a lid on if using a Dutch oven) and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, if your skillet is oven-safe, you can place it under a broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden (watch carefully to prevent burning).
- 6
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot directly from the skillet.
