How to Make Beefy Broccoli Rice

In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
(Optional) If using, sauté 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion with the ground beef until softened.
Add 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice to the skillet. Stir to combine with the beef.
Pour in 2 cups of beef broth (or water) and stir in the seasoning packet from the rice.
Add 2 cups of chopped broccoli florets to the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Fluff with a fork and serve immediately. Add a sprinkle of garlic powder or your favorite seasoning for extra flavor.
