Servings: 10
Cost: $10
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion diced chopped
- 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
- 3 bell peppers seeded and chopped ( I used red, orange and yellow for extra color)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 2 cups Minute rice or any quick cooking rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- shredded cheese optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet, saute the onion in olive oil on medium heat until soft
- Add the meat and cook on medium-high heat until no longer pink, breaking up as you go. Drain grease if needed
- Add the salt, garlic powder, paprika, pepper and bell peppers, and cook until peppers start to soften
- Stir in the tomato sauce
- Stir in the rice and beef broth
- Reduce heat, cover and let simmer until rice is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed. You can always add water or more broth if it seems too thick.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese, if desired, and serve immediately
Notes
You can use a mix of beef and pork for more traditional flavor.
If using long-grain white rice, use 1 cup and add extra liquid if needed, plus additional cooking time. To make without rice, you can use quinoa.
