Ground beef is often more affordable and cooks faster.

Get out a large skillet with a lid.

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil over medium heat in the skillet.

Add 1 pound of lean ground beef, spreading it out into a flat layer in the pan.

Leave the beef untouched for 4 to 5 minutes to brown underneath.

Add 1 medium chopped onion, 16 oz sliced button mushrooms, and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet.

Stir to mix everything together and break up the meat.

Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender.

Stir in 2 cups of low sodium beef stock and 1 cup of uncooked white long grain rice.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, stirring to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Remove from heat and gently stir to fluff the rice.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and chopped chives on top.
