Recipe Link: http://www.hungrybrowser.com/phaedrus/m030903.htm This is a copycat recipe for the Spanish rice from the public
schools cookbook of thirty years ago.
--I don't know about anyone else but the spanish rice
served in my schools did not have any meat in it, but other
than that it seems to have the other ingredients.
Spanich Rice, (copycat of public schools)
1 pound lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup uncooked rice

1 cup water
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 cup canned diced green chilies
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cook beef, onion and bell pepper over medium heat, stirring often,
until beef is browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in
rice, tomatoes with their liquid, tomato paste, water, cumin and
chilies. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low.
Cover and simmer 30 to 35 minutes, until rice is tender. Season with
