Bacon Cheeseburger Rice Stack
This bacon cheeseburger rice stack brings all the flavors of a classic cheeseburger into a cozy, layered comfort dish. Juicy seasoned beef, creamy cheesy rice, and crispy bacon come together in hearty stacks that are filling, family-friendly, and perfect for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (80/20)
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups cooked white rice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup milk or cream
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Optional toppings: sliced pickles, chopped parsley, extra cheese
Instructions:
Cook the bacon until crispy, then set aside on paper towels. Crumble once cooled.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in the garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and milk or cream. Stir until creamy and well mixed.
To assemble the stacks, spoon a layer of cheesy rice onto each plate or into a lightly greased baking dish. Top with a layer of seasoned beef, then sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
Repeat the layers once more if desired, finishing with bacon and extra cheese on top.
If using a baking dish, place it in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted. If stacking directly on plates, serve immediately while hot.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables.
Add pickles or a drizzle of burger sauce for a true cheeseburger twist.
Tips for Best Results:
Use freshly cooked rice for the creamiest texture.
Swap cheddar for pepper jack if you like a little heat.
This dish reheats well, making it great for leftovers.
Hearty, cheesy, and loaded with bacon flavor, this bacon cheeseburger rice stack is pure comfort food that satisfies every time.
