# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, cooking for 6-8 minutes while breaking up the meat with a spatula until no pink remains and onions are softened.
02 -
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Drain off any excess grease, then season the mixture with seasoned salt.
03 -
Add tomato sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, instant rice, and beef broth to the skillet. Stir everything together until well combined.
04 -
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broth is absorbed and the rice is tender.
05 -
Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of the shredded cheese and ½ cup of the chopped bacon until the cheese melts into the rice.
06 -
Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon over the top of the rice mixture. Cover the skillet and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the steam to melt the cheese on top.
07 -
Remove the lid and serve immediately while hot and cheesy. This tastes just like a bacon cheeseburger in rice form!
