Italian Beef and Rice Skillet

My family LOVED this Italian Beef and Rice Skillet! I basically took the same idea as my Mexican Beef and Rice Skillet and switched up the flavor profiles for another unique and delicious dinner.

I wasn’t necessarily going for an “Italian” flavor profile when I set out to switch up this dish, but when I started playing around with different liquids and veggies to add, it all just fell into place.

If you didn’t want to use rice in this dish, you could totally swap it out for a smaller pasta. I just loved making rice skillets because my kids are huge fans of rice and it’s fairly cheap to make.

Ingredients :

• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 (14.5 oz) can Italian diced tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cups frozen mixed veggies (peas and carrots)
• 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions :

1. Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet until no longer pink, drain any excess fat.
2. Return skillet to stove top and add in the tomatoes, mixed veggies, rice, beef broth, oregano, garlic salt, basil and pepper. Stir until combined and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let cook until rice is tender (about 17 minutes).
