Italian Beef & Rice Skillet

Ingredients
* 1 small onion, diced
* 1 lb ground beef
* 14.5 oz can petite diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes
* 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
* 2 cups beef broth
* 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
* 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
* 1 tsp garlic salt
* 1 tsp oregano
* 1/2 tsp pepper
* mozzarella cheese or parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Directions
1. Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet.  Drain the fat.
2. Add everything to the beef and rice except the cheese.  Stir to combine and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 17-20 minutes (taste to see when your rice is finished cooking).
3. Serve, and pass with optional cheese if anyone wants to add it.

Notes
The kids were looking through the pantry and using the internet to see if we could make anything new.  The recipe they found had some seasonings and ingredients we didn't have on hand, so we did some improvising.  The kitchen smelled good while it was cooking, but to be honest I wasn't expecting much when I brought it over to the table.  I was so surprised - Ryan and the kids loved it, and I thought it was pretty good.  It was especially nice that it was a true one pot meal and didn't create too big of a mess in the kitchen.  We've actually had it twice during these times already, once with diced tomatoes and once with crushed.  The flavor was the same both ways, but we felt that when it had crushed tomatoes it was a little more soup like.
