Name: Spanish Rice with Ground Beef

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef extra lean
• 1 large onion chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
• 1 medium green bell pepper chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper or to taste
• 1 teaspoon cumin ground
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 3 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 cup white rice uncooked, such as Jasmine or Basmati
• 15.4 ounce diced tomatoes 1 can
• 2 cups chicken broth low sodium
• 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded (Optional)

Instructions:

• Add the ground beef to a large skillet and cook until it’s no longer pink, breaking it up as you go along, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Add the onion, bell peppers, garlic and cook another 5 minutes until the onion has softened and is translucent.
• Add the salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, tomato paste and stir everything together.
• Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes and chicken broth.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat.
• Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to avoid the rice from sticking. When the rice is cooked there should still be a bit of liquid left in the skillet. This will get absorbed by the rice as it cools down.
• Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.
• Top with cheese if desired and serve.
