Ingredients
- 1/2 pound lean ground beef (15% fat)
- 3/4 cup onion, chopped (3/4 medium onion)
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes (about 2 medium fresh tomatoes)
- 1 1/2 cups vegetables fresh, frozen, or canned and drained (try one or more-zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, corn, cauliflower)
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheese
Directions
- Cook beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet) until no longer pink. Drain fat.
- Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add rice, tomatoes, vegetables, water, and spices. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium low (250 degrees in an electric skillet). Cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is cooked. Add more water if needed.
