In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil, ground beef, and onions. Cook the ground beef until no pinks remain. Drain excess grease, and return to the pan.
1 tablespoon cooking oil, 1 pound ground beef, ½ cup white onion
Stir in the broth, rice, tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, cumin, oregano, and pepper. Bring the ingredients to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to simmer.
2 ¼ cups low-sodium beef broth, ½ cup uncooked long grain white rice, ¼ cup tomato paste, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
