Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup ketchup or tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups day-old rice
- Fresh herbs (green onions or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the rice according to package instructions, or use leftover rice.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add diced onions and minced garlic; cook until softened.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned; season with salt and pepper.

Notes
Using day-old rice is crucial to avoid a mushy filling. Feel free to customize the dish with additional toppings like sautéed mushrooms or jalapeños.
