Brooklyn Devazier’s Cheesy Rice and Beef

I love sharing these recipes from the Miss Arkansas Rice Contest. Each of the girls worked hard to develop their recipes and present them to the judges. I know I’ll be making Brooklyn Devazier’s recipe a lot this fall. Her Cheesy Rice and Beef is a versatile recipe perfect for fall parties. Don’t miss out on this cheesy, flavorful and creamy recipe!

Did you know Arkansas’ farmers manage rice fields together with natural wetlands to provide the single most important wintering area for North America’s mallards?
