A delicious and hearty dish combining the flavors of a classic bacon cheeseburger layered over a bed of rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 grams ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 225 milliliters tomato sauce
  • 60 milliliters ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 320 grams instant rice
  • 480 milliliters beef broth
  • 120 grams cooked bacon, chopped
  • 110 grams sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Cook for 6–8 minutes until beef is browned and onions are translucent.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic. Drain excess fat from the skillet, then season with seasoned salt.
  3. Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, mustard, instant rice, and beef broth. Mix until fully integrated.
  4. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until broth is absorbed and rice is tender.
  5. Remove from heat. Stir in half the shredded cheese and half the chopped bacon until the cheese melts and mixture becomes cohesive.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and bacon evenly over the surface. Cover and let stand for 2–3 minutes to melt the cheese with residual steam.
  7. Lightly grease the inside of a 7–10 cm cooking ring mold and position it on a serving plate.
  8. Add 2–3 tablespoons of the rice mixture to the mold and press firmly to form a stable base.
  9. Sprinkle reserved bacon and cheddar in the center for a melted core.
  10. Spoon additional rice mixture over the center and press gently to compact and stabilize the stack.
  11. Scatter remaining bacon and cheese on top. Optionally, briefly broil or torch for a golden finish, then cover for 2–3 minutes to allow layers to settle.
  12. Gently remove the ring mold while pressing softly on the top to maintain stack integrity. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes
