For a richer flavor, consider browning the ground sirloin with a touch of bacon fat before adding the vegetables. Spice lovers can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the slow cooker for an extra kick. Leftovers taste even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop. If you don't have instant rice on hand, feel free to use pre-cooked rice or quinoa.
