Recipe Introduction

Nancy S. says this is her mother's recipe for Spanish Rice and she thinks it's the best she's ever had. I'll put it here in my recipe file to try at a later date. I think I might substitute brown rice to make it a little healthier and just cook a little longer.

List of Ingredients

2 cups canned tomatoes
2/3 cups of long cooking rice
1 cup water
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1 large onion chopped
1 lb. of hamburger
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. Garlic powder



Recipe

Bring the tomatoes, rice and water to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 30 minutes until rice is tender.

Add the 2/3 cup of milk to the tomato/rice mixture. Stir well. Set aside.

Saute green peppers and onions in a little fat until tender about 15 to 20 minutes.

Saute the ground beef and spices until done about 10 to 15 minutes.

Combine the green pepper/onion mixture and the hamburger.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add to the tomato/rice mixture, bring to heat stirring constantly for 2 to 3 minutes.

Serve.
