1 3/4 cup water
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 cups instant white rice, uncooked

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the water and barbecue sauce to the skillet. Bring to a boil.
Stir the rice into the skillet. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a low simmer. Let cook for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and sprinkle beef and rice with the cheese. Cover the skillet and turn off the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I thought it was good. However, I would go a little less BBQ sauce, or a quite mild tasting one. Maybe some green peppers? haha I have a feeling this would be good cold, or on a bun kinda thing.
