Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (15 oz) can beef broth
• 1 cup instant rice
• 1 (10 oz) package frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add onion and garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the onion is softened.
3. Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), beef broth, instant rice, mixed vegetables, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.
4. Remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top. Let sit for a few minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

• To save even more money, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
• If you don’t have frozen mixed vegetables, you can use any fresh or frozen vegetables you have on hand.
• Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
• Serve this dish with a side salad or some crusty bread for a complete meal.
