Let’s talk ingredients. You won’t need anything fancy, just a few staples you probably already have. And yes, I promise you won’t need a dictionary to understand them!
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey for a leaner option)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown, your choice!)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sliced pickles
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Feel free to swap ingredients based on what you love or have on hand. Ground chicken works beautifully, and if you’re not a fan of pickles, simply leave them out!
Instructions
Cooking in a lively home often means embracing the process, mess and all. Here’s how you can bring this recipe to life:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard to create a creamy, tangy sauce.
- Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Top with the seasoned beef, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced pickles.
- Drizzle the special sauce over each bowl.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the smile-inducing flavors!
Cooking tip: Use pre-cooked rice or microwaveable rice packets to speed things up, especially on those extra hectic nights.
