Instructions
  1. 1

    Brown the beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up as it goes. Drain off the grease so the dish doesn't turn out greasy.

  1. 2

    Build the sauce

    Right in the same skillet, add 1-3/4 cups water, 2/3 cup barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon prepared mustard, 2 teaspoons dried minced onion, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring it to a boil.

  2. 3

    Add the rice and cheese

    Stir in 2 cups uncooked instant rice, then sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar over the top. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer 5 minutes until the rice is tender and the cheese has melted in.

  3. 4

    Top and serve

    Scatter 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles and 5 strips of cooked, crumbled bacon over the top. Add these at the very end so they stay crunchy instead of going soggy.

Notes & Tips

This is the box-mix beef-and-rice skillet, except it actually tastes like something. The barbecue sauce does most of the work, so use one you'd happily put on a burger. One pan, on the table in half an hour, and the pickles-and-bacon-on-top move is not optional — that's the whole point. Ground turkey works if you'd rather, and pepper jack instead of cheddar is a good call if your crowd likes a little heat.
