Recipe Tips

If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can cook the rice and the ground beef mixture separately and then combine them just before serving. This will help prevent the rice from getting too mushy. Additionally, if you want to add some extra flavor to the dish, you can stir in some cooked bacon or sliced green onions just before serving.
