Tomato Beef & Rice Skillet

Quick Tips:

• Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded. It melts more smoothly and makes the sauce extra creamy

• Let the tomato sauce simmer a few extra minutes if you have time. It deepens the flavor and thickens everything up

• Drain some but not all of the beef grease. A little fat adds flavor without making it heavy

• If it feels too thick after adding the rice, splash in a bit of water or broth to loosen it up

• Taste after the Parmesan goes in. The cheese adds salt, so adjust the seasoning at the very end

• This reheats best on the stovetop with a little butter or water stirred in to bring it back to life
