Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic for about 6–8 minutes, then drain excess fat.

- Let rest for 5 minutes and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option. Substitute cream of celery or chicken soup if desired. For added flavor, consider using a splash of dry white wine with the beef broth.
