CAMPFIRE GIRLS' TEXAS HASH
My mom was a Campfire Girl from Bluebirds until adulthood, when she was a summer camp counselor for several years. On some of those Bluebird overnights, they used to make this simple version of "Texas Hash". Transposed to the kitchen, it became a family favorite with her kids, and now I make it for my family. It's easy, cheap, fast, and satisfying. I add garlic and use no-salt-added tomatoes because I'm on a reduced-sodium diet due to pregnancy, and it turns out okay for us, but you may do as you wish, of course. This recipe would, of course, adapt easily to be a camp-out recipe.

Steps:
- In a deep-sided saute pan, dutch oven, or other deep pan with tight-fitting lid, brown beef over medium-high heat.
- (If not using lean ground beef, you will need to drain off all but a few Tbsp. of the fat at this point.) Add onion and garlic.
- Saute until onion begins to get transparent.
- Add rice.
- Stir in and saute a little more, just until rice starts to get opaque.
- Reduce heat to low.
- Add tomatoes, with their liquid.
- Stir well.
- Stir in chili powder.
- Add half the tomato can or so of water, and stir.
- Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Remove lid and stir again.
- Add 1/3 to 1/2 can more water, as necessary.
- Make sure you stir thoroughly so that none burns to the sides.
- Cook another 10 to 15 minutes, or until rice is done and all water is absorbed.
