- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, and 1 teaspoon salt.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
