1
Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
2
Prepare the Rice
In a separate pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the arborio rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
3
Add Vegetables
Once the beef is cooked, stir in the diced carrots, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
4
Combine Beef and Rice
Once the rice is finished cooking, fluff it with a fork and then add it to the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. This dish can be served warm or at room temperature as a starter for your paw-ty!
