1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and diced onion. Cook for 3 minutes, until tender. Add the ground beef. Crumble and cook until browned, about 7 minutes; drain fat if needed. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Combine: Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and long grain white rice, then stir to combine.
3. Simmer: Bring the rice mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low. Cover with a lid and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the cheese into the rice mixture, then heat and stir until the cheese melts. Serve cheeseburger rice with your favorite burger toppings. Try shredded lettuce, tomato, bacon, mustard, dill pickles, and burger sauce!
