THIS RECIPE IS AIR FRYER-FRIENDLY
Simply reduce the cooking time and temperature on your air fryer as shown here.*

Timing
Set air fryer timer for half the cooking time of a conventional oven. Add extra time for doneness if needed.

Temperature
Reduce regular oven temperature by 25° to 50° (not going below 350°) on your air fryer. If food is getting too dark, reduce by another 25°.

* Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring, until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain and return to the skillet.
2

Turn the heat down to medium and add the seasoning packet. Stir in the rice, peas, broth, and 1 cup of cheese. Let simmer for 3 minutes.
3

Transfer everything to a 9×13 baking dish and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with remaining cheese. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Michelle M from Quick and easy but lacks flavor I feel like I wasted two packs of ranch seasoning on this dish. It tasted like I hadn’t added any kind of seasoning whatsoever . And that’s with two packets instead of the one it calls for. It was a quick and easy dinner but instead of using ranch seasoning, I would suggest to add whatever seasoning your family likes instead. Maybe some onion , garlic , stuff like that. We had to kind of season to taste on our own plates but once we did it wasn’t too bad . Not that it was bad to begin with, just lacked flavor. It literally just tasted like plain ground beef with plain white rice and veggies . Do, a good foundation recipe that you can kind of build off of and go whichever route you want with it .
