For a richer flavor, brown the ground beef with the onions and garlic before mixing with the other ingredients. Feel free to experiment with different types of rice, such as brown rice or wild rice. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar, during the last 15 minutes of baking for a cheesy topping. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with lentils or a plant-based ground meat alternative.
