Ingredients for Beefy White Rice Parmesan Cheese

  • Ground Sirloin
  • Onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can beef consommé
  • 1 cup water
  • Long Grain White Rice
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Ground Black Pepper

How to Make Beefy White Rice Parmesan Cheese

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add 1 pound of ground sirloin and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until mostly browned, about 7-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can of beef consommé. Empty the consommé can, filling it with 1 cup of water, and add to the skillet.
  4. Add 1 ½ cups of long-grain white rice, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat, stir in ½ cup grated parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.

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.
