How to Make Angie S Bacon Cheeseburger Rice

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 cup water, 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper to the saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Stir in 1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain rice.
  5. Reduce heat to low, sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the rice, and stir gently to combine.
  6. Cover the saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  8. Top with 4 slices crumbled bacon and 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
