🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

Vegetable broth is lighter and can be made at home.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, breaking the beef apart as it cooks. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.

Add the minced garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, season salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the uncooked rice and pour in the beef broth. Mix well and bring everything to a gentle boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Stir in the remaining butter, milk, parmesan cheese, and cheddar cheese. Cook uncovered for a few minutes, stirring gently, until the cheese is fully melted and the skillet is creamy.

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
