Wow there are a lot of great spanish rice recipes on Zaar but none just like our family favorite. The original recipe came from a hamburger cookbook from sometime in the 70's. The cookbook bit the dust years ago but not this recipe. It's a good basic recipe that lots of things could be added to for personnel preferences. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup converted rice
2 cups water
14 1/2 ounces diced canned tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
salt
2 bay leaves
1/2 chopped onion (optional)
sliced black olives (optional)
Directions:
1. brown hamburger and drain.
2. Add all other ingredients to the beef and bring to a boil then lower heat to low and cover.
3. Cook for 20 minutes.
4. Remove and discard bay leaves and enjoy.
5. I usually cook the green pepper with the beef when browning beef and if using onions would also cook with the browning beef.
