1 pound ground beef a hearty source of protein that adds richness to the dish.
1 cup rice choose long-grain or jasmine for fluffy texture.
2 cups vegetable broth enhances flavor while keeping the dish nutritious.
1 cup mixed vegetables a colorful mix of carrots, peas, and bell peppers adds essential vitamins.
1 onion, chopped brings sweetness and depth to the flavor profile.
2 cloves garlic, minced infuses the dish with a delightful aroma and taste.
1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing, adds healthy fats and helps prevent sticking.
1 teaspoon salt basic seasoning that enhances all the flavors.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper adds a bit of warmth and depth to the dish.
1 teaspoon paprika gives a mild kick and beautiful color to your Beef & Veggie Rice Skillet.

Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté them until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Incorporate the ground beef into the skillet. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked through, roughly 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the mixed vegetables, cooking them for another 5 minutes until they are tender and vibrant.
Add the rice, vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the skillet. Stir everything together.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
Allow it to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
Use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving.

Optional: Top with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
