Mom's Spanish Rice with Ground Beef image

My mom made this from the time I can remember, and it's always been a family favorite with everyone! I don't think it's really a "Spanish" style rice, but that's what she always called it, and I just don't have another name for it! Ha! We make this as a main dish, but if you leave out the ground beef, it's a great side dish...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

SAUCE:
1 lb. ground beef
1 c onion, chopped
1/4 c green bell pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (15oz.) can(s) tomato sauce
salt and pepper to taste
RICE:
1 c long grain white rice
2 c water
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, brown ground beef; drain.
  • 2. Stir in the onion, green pepper and garlic. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender.
  • 3. Add tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Let simmer 15-20 minutes on low.
  • 4. Bring rice, water and salt to a boil; cover and lower heat, let cook 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.
  • 5. Scoop rice into bowls and cover with the sauce mixture. (I like serving it this way instead of mixing it altogether, because some family members like more sauce than others. But, you can mix it together in the pan before serving.)
