Mexican Rice

Directions

1. 1
   Note: I pre-cook and freeze ground beef in portions then defrost as needed for meals.

   Otherwise, you can just brown a pound of extra lean ground beef prior to starting the recipe.

   Heat the oil over medium heat in a shallow pan that also has a matching lid.

   Pour in all the uncooked rice and stir constantly until the rice smells a little like popcorn.
5. 5
   Then pour in the broth, salsa, ketchup and salt.
6. 6
   Stir for one minute until combined (make sure mixture is simmering).
7. 7
   Then turn heat to low, cover and cook for 25 minutes.
8. 8
   Then add the cooked ground beef, do not stir, just leave it on the top and cook for another 5 minutes.
9. 9
   Then stir and combine the meat into the mixture and you are ready to go.
