Cheesy ground beef rice

Cheesy ground beef rice

In my culture, our meal will not be complete without rice. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. And yes I said breakfast! It's our tortillas for Mexicans, our noodles for Vietnamese and our pasta for Italians. So basically we have a dish a steam rice or during breakfast we prefer to have garlic rice with bacon and sausage with a side of vinegar to dip it in.
