For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with lentils or crumbled plant-based meat. Adding a layer of shredded cheese (such as mozzarella or cheddar) during the last 30 minutes of cooking will create a gooey, cheesy topping. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of dried Italian herbs to the ground beef mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of rice, such as brown rice or quinoa, for a nutritional boost. If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, add a tablespoon of brown sugar to the ground beef mixture.
