Instructions
Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Discard excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
Step 2: Add ground beef and diced onion to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5–7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Step 3: Stir in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and heated through.
Step 4: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture and cover the skillet. Let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Top with crumbled bacon and optional garnishes like chopped pickles or green onions. Serve hot.
