# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 400°F and get a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
02 -
Grab a big mixing bowl and combine the cooled rice with the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
03 -
Spread the rice mix evenly on the lined tray. Bake for about 25-35 minutes. Flip it around halfway so it crisps up evenly. Don’t let it burn!
04 -
Take the rice out of the oven, break it into chunks, and let it cool off.
05 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally until it’s browned and fully cooked (should take 8-10 minutes). Drain the fat and leave it to cool a bit.
06 -
In your large bowl, lay down the chopped lettuce as the base. Top with the cheddar, tomatoes, pickles, onion slices, crispy rice, and cooled ground beef.
07 -
Pour the dressing on top and toss everything together. Serve it right away.
