List of Ingredients
1/2 to 1 pound ground beef or turkey
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 stalks of celery, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup long grain white rice
4 beef flavored bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 to 4 cups tap water
1-1/2 tablespoon soy sauceRecipe
I like to make this in a 12" skillet because the rice expands a lot. You could use a 3-quart or larger saucepan, if you don't have a skillet that's big enough. Fry up your meat until it is all broken up and brown. Drain off the fat if necessary. Add the vegetables and garlic and saut� until the onions are tender and fragrant. Add the rice, bouillon, paprika, red pepper flakes, 3 cups of tap water and the soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to very low and put a good lid on the skillet or saucepan. Simmer for about 30 minutes. If you think you need it, then add more water while it cooks, to keep things moist. Makes 4 to 6 servings. Serve hot with fresh or canned fruit on the side.
Note: When I don't have green pepper I use frozen peas or mixed veggies instead. Usually about 1 to 2 cups of veggies is enough.
