This cheesy rice bake is an effortless way to make a burger bowl
OK, hear me out — cheeseburger rice bake. It might sound a little unconventional, but the combo of rice, mince and cheese is anything but unusual across the world and the flavours are comforting and nostalgic.
Think: fluffy rice as your bun base, topped with juicy, seasoned "burger patty" mince and a generous layer of melted cheese, all baked until golden and bubbly. Then, just like your favourite burger, it's finished with tangy burger sauce (with pickles, they are non-negotiable), crisp shredded lettuce, and juicy cherry tomatoes.
It's an easy, satisfying weeknight meal — and a great option for anyone gluten-free who's been missing that classic cheeseburger hit (just be sure to check your pre-bought sauces for any sneaky gluten). I really enjoyed this one — I hope you do too!
