Personal Notes:
Always use a heavy bottom pan or cast iron skillet. Make sure the cover sits tight on the pan.

If adding ground beef, add after the onion and garlic. Sauté until all pink is gone. Substitute Beef broth for chicken broth. Any herb or spice that is desirable can be added to the rice mixture. Cinnamon with beef is often done in Greek cooking and serving it with plan yogurt on the side is common.
