Description
Beefy Garlic Butter Bowl: a creamy, comforting skillet dish of garlic butter beef served over fluffy rice and smothered in a cheddar sauce for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cook rice according to package instructions. Fluff and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add ground beef, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and fully cooked.
- Sprinkle flour over the beef and stir well to coat.
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce slightly thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and creamy.
- Serve the garlic butter beef mixture over the cooked rice. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- Leftover beef and sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer a bit longer or whisk in a little more flour mixed with milk.
- To lighten slightly, use half-and-half or milk with a touch of water; you can also use reduced-fat cheese and butter.
- Parsley garnish is optional and adds color.
