This recipe can be altered to fit any taste by adjusting how spicy and saucy you make it. On occasion, I like using ground turkey in place of the beef-or adding leftover spaghetti sauce instead of the tomato paste. Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey or beef |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 green pepper, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes |
1-1/2 cups water |
1 cup uncooked long grain rice |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons tomato paste |
french bread |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, green pepper and garlic until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the next eight ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Stir in tomato paste and cook until heated through. Serve with French bread. Yield: 4-6 servings.
