Categories : Core Skillet

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
1 cup instant brown rice
1 pound extra lean ground beef
1/2 onion -- chopped
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 clove garlic -- minced
1/2 green bell pepper -- chopped
2 1/2 cups stewed tomatoes (I don't care for this with stewed tomatoes because I think it makes the mix too sweet)
1 teaspoon salt
3 tbsp no salt added taco seasoning mix (recipe below)

1. Wash rice, drain and allow to dry thoroughly.

2. Heat oil in heavy skillet; add rice. Cook, stirring constantly, until
lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

3. Add onions, garlic, green peppers and beef. Stir often to break up and
brown meat; cook until onion is limp and lightly browned.

4. Add undrained tomatoes and seasonings. Cover and simmer about 25 minutes
or until rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Let stand,
covered for about 5 minutes before serving.
