Scale
Ingredients
- 2 tsp Tastefully Simple™ Avocado Oil
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp Tastefully Simple™ Onion Onion Seasoning
- ½ tsp Tastefully Simple™ Seasoned Pepper
- 1 cup white long grain rice, uncooked
- 2 cups beef stock
- ¾ cup Tastefully Simple™ French Onion Skillet Sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1 cup Gruyére cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Caramelize Onions: Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. If onions start to burn, lower heat and add a bit more oil.
- Cook Ground Beef and Season: Remove caramelized onions to a plate. In the same skillet, add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat. Return skillet to heat and stir in minced garlic, onion seasoning, and seasoned pepper. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Rice and Liquids: Stir in uncooked rice, beef stock, French Onion Skillet Sauce, frozen peas and carrots, and the caramelized onions. Mix well and bring the entire mixture to a boil.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and let cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Add Cheese and Serve: Fluff the rice and beef mixture with a spoon. Stir in shredded Gruyére cheese until melted and well combined. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- If onions begin to stick or burn during caramelizing, reduce heat and add a splash of water or extra oil.
- Use low-sodium beef stock to control salt levels.
- Gruyére cheese can be substituted with mozzarella or cheddar if preferred.
- Allow the skillet to rest a few minutes off heat before serving for better flavor melding.
- This meal reheats well and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
