1 box Spanish-style or flavored rice
1 lb ground beef
1/2 chopped small onion, or suit to taste
1-2 tsp minced garlic or garlic powder
3 medium bell peppers
1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste**
1 tsp dried oregano

  • In a large skillet on medium-high heat, brown the beef with chopped onion and garlic until fully cooked.
