It's one of those recipes that I make just about anytime because I always have the ingredients on hand and my family (especially my youngest son) loves it!

Season the beef simply: Use a simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to let the natural flavor of the beef shine through.
Cook the beef patties to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties are cooked to your liking, whether it's rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done.
Use a variety of colorful vegetables: Experiment with different colors and textures of vegetables to create a visually appealing and nutrient-packed rice dish. Some good options include bell peppers, carrots, corn, peas, and broccoli.
Cook the rice according to package instructions: Follow the instructions on the rice package for perfect results. Be sure to use the correct ratio of water to rice and cook the rice until it is tender and fluffy.
Add the cooked rice to the vegetables and beef: Once the rice, vegetables, and beef are cooked, combine them in a large bowl or pot. Stir gently to combine.
Season the rice mixture: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a drizzle of soy sauce for extra flavor.
