In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the meat, until it is browned.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the tomato sauce, uncooked rice, water, chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
Stir everything together until well combined and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the skillet again and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, allowing the residual heat to melt the cheese.
Serve hot, optionally with a side of green beans.
