Mom’s Spanish Rice

Here is an old family favorite recipe for a quick and easy Spanish-Mexican dish that was one of my mother’s mainstays when I was a child.  Make this dish in an electric fryer or pan on the stove.

Ingredients:

2 lbs. hamburger meat

1 onion chopped

2 peppers cut small

1 (30 oz.) crushed tomatoes can

1/2 tsp. salt/pepper, curry powder, chili powder, cumin

1 3/4 C  rice

Added note – you may want to add more than 1/2 tsp of each just be sure and taste first.

Fry the hamburger along with the onions and peppers and at the end, when they’re softening, add the sauce.

Separately cook the rice in water.  Boil and add a little salt to the water.  Follow the directions on the package for the rice.
