Creamy Beef and Rice is a one pan dinner recipe that always satisfies! Hearty ground beef and rice are made flavorful with ingredients like garlic, red pepper flakes and plenty of parmesan. It’s all held together in a simple, decadent creamy tomato sauce!
Cook and crumble the beef in a deep 9-inch skillet over medium heat until completely browned, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the onion and cook until it starts to soften then follow it with the garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and cook until fragrant.
Stir in the rice then pour in the beef broth and crushed tomes and bring it to a boil over high heat then turn the heat down to low-medium, stir, and cover with a lid.
Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly soaked into the rice.
Gently stir in the heavy cream, making sure not to mash the rice or over stir as it can make the rice gummy.
Once everything is heated evenly, turn the heat off and gently stir in the cheese.
