Easy Spanish Rice
Takes less than 30 minutes. You will need -
3/4 to a pound of ground beef. We have been buying the Costco ground beef and really like it. Lowfat and ground really fine.
1 package Knorr Spanish Rice (got it for a buck at the dollar store)
2 1/2 cups water (or the half cup can be tomato juice)
I can whole black beans, drained and rinsed
2-3 ancho peppers, no seeds, chopped fine
1 medium vidalia onion chopped fine
2 small or 1 medium tomato chopped
about 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2-3 tablespoons pickled jalapeno juice
3-4 slices of the jalapeno chopped fine no seeds
Large skillet, start browning ground beef. Prepare by chopping the onion, cilantro, tomato. You can put them together they are added at the end
Chop the poblano peppers and the jalapenos.
When the ground beef is browned tip the skillet and spoon out most of the fat. Add the water and the Knorr mix and the chopped poblanos and jalapenos and the juice. Stir. Cook uncovered on medium 7 minutes. Add the beans, stir once and cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, turn off the heat, Stir and serve. The cilantro and onions and tomatoes uncooked give it a fresh taste. Eat the same day if you can. Skillet should serve 3 or 4 people. Leftover, the rice seems overcooked and all the liquid is absorbed.
That sounds very good.
I’ve been making a ‘Spanish Rice’ since I was a kid - it came from the 1960s Betty Crocker children’s cookbook, and used bacon.
Your’s looks a lot healthier!
