Directions

1

Cook ground beef, onion and bell pepper until meat is cooked through.
2

Drain in a colander.
3

Pat meat mixture dry with a paper towel to remove excess grease.

Wipe grease drippings from the pan with another clean paper towel.
5

Return meat mixture to pan and stir in the remaining ingredients.
6

Bring to a boil; cover.

Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally.

If you are using regular rice this will take a bit longer for the rice to cook through and you may need more liquid - so keep an eye on it.

Use your own judgement as to the consistency you want.
