# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until beef is fully browned and onions are softened.

Incorporate minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic. Drain any excess fat, then season the mixture with seasoned salt.

Add tomato sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, instant rice, and beef broth to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to ensure all components are evenly distributed.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the broth is absorbed and rice is tender.

Remove pan from the heat. Fold in 55 grams (½ cup) of shredded cheddar and 55 grams (½ cup) of chopped bacon, mixing until the cheese melts into the rice.
06 -
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and bacon evenly over the rice mixture. Cover the skillet and allow to stand for 2 to 3 minutes to let the residual heat melt the cheese.

Remove the lid and serve immediately while the dish is hot and the cheese is gooey.
