Spanish Beef and Rice

This is a great weeknight recipe when you have a lot going on. Just dump everything in one large skillet and dinner is ready in 20 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised for how easy this was.

3/4 pound ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice

1. Cook the beef, onion, and pepper until brown, then drain the fat.
2. Add the broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and rice. Heat to boiling, then turn down to simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.

Kitchen of Reality Tips
- You can serve topped with cheese, sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, olives, you get the picture.
- I served this with a side of corn, but several reviews of the recipe said that they had added corn and/or black beans into the recipe with the rice. Also, some people said they made it with salsa or taco sauce instead of plain tomato sauce.
- This makes quite a bit and the ingredients are inexpensive. Great for freezing and reheating later.
