# Steps:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat with a spatula. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until beef is browned and onions are translucent.
02 -
Incorporate minced garlic and cook an additional minute until fragrant. Drain any excess fat, then season mixture with seasoned salt.
03 -
Stir in tomato sauce, ketchup, yellow mustard, instant rice, and beef broth. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
04 -
Bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the broth is absorbed and rice is tender.
05 -
Remove skillet from heat. Fold in half the shredded cheese and half the chopped bacon until cheese melts.
06 -
Sprinkle remaining cheese and bacon evenly over the surface. Cover skillet and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes to allow cheese to melt.
07 -
Lightly grease a ring mold and place it on a serving plate. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the rice mixture, pressing firmly to create the base.
08 -
Scatter reserved bacon and cheese into the center.
09 -
Add additional rice mixture over the center filling and gently press to compact. Top with any remaining bacon and cheese.
10 -
Optionally, broil briefly for a golden finish, then cover for 2 to 3 minutes. Gently remove the ring mold while pressing the top. Serve immediately.
