For a richer flavor, try using beef broth instead of water to cook the rice. Add a can of diced tomatoes or some chopped onions and bell peppers to the ground beef mixture for extra vegetables. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend.
