Ingredients

• 4 pieces bacon
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 cup white jasmine rice, rinsed
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 0 dried parsley

Instructions

1. Cook bacon if not already cooked, drain the grease, and chop it into small pieces. Alternatively, use bacon bits.
2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and spread it out evenly in the pan.
3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
4. Once the beef is almost cooked, add the minced garlic and the rinsed rice to the center of the skillet and let it toast for a couple of minutes.
5. Add the beef broth to the skillet and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover with a lid.
6. Let the mixture cook covered for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.
7. Add the cream cheese, Parmesan garlic sauce, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese to the skillet. Stir everything together well.
8. Top the mixture with a little bit more cheese and the crumbled bacon.
9. Cover with the lid to let the cheese melt or pop it in the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes.
10. Top with dried parsley and enjoy!
