  9. Top with any and all of your favorite toppings like guacamole or diced avocado, lettuce, sour cream, cilantro, sliced green onion, sliced black olives, tortilla chips

Notes

  • This dish also works with ground chicken and ground turkey. If using chicken or turkey, I suggest switching to chicken broth.
  • Add some spice by using jarred jalapeños as a topping or adding cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the ground beef mixture.
  • Brown rice can be used instead of white rice, but keep in mind it will take longer to cook and you'll need a little extra broth.
  • Substitute fresh garlic with a tablespoon of garlic powder.
  • Drain the browned ground beef into a colander over a bowl in the sink if you need to remove excess grease
