Bake Time: 45 minutes

 

Ingredients:

​

Rice:

Soak overnight, covered with flour sack dish cloth,  in room temp water, ACV and salt.

1/2 cup organic basmati rice

1 tsp. Braggs unfiltered apple cider vinegar

1/2 tsp. sea salt

​

*This is the good ole' fashioned way. It makes it much easier for your body to break the rice down adding necessary enzymes for digestion...making the rice much more bioavailable.

1 lb. grass fed ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 scoop or 1 TBSP collagelatin, Bulletproof
