Submitted by Jenny Frenny

"This is a fast dinner. I usually have all of the ingredients on hand for a last minute supper. You can get creative and doctor this up a bit by adding green pepper or other vegetables."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 lb hamburger
• 1 yellow onions, chopped or 1 tablespoon dried onion
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
• 1⁄2 cup tomato sauce
• 1⁄2 cup water
• salt and pepper
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

directions

1. Brown hamburger and onion over medium heat in a large skillet (one with a lid). Drain off excess fat.
2. Add the rice, tomato, water, salt and pepper. Mix well and cover pan with lid. Simmer on low for 10 minutes.

The family loved this meal. I loved it also because of the quick and easy! I put in more tomatoes and salt also used onion powder. Keeping this quick and easy to grab, thank you!

I've been looking for a quick and easy recipe for those busy week nights. This fits the bill!! I used leftover pasta sauce with the can of tomatoes and added a can of mushrooms. I also used brown rice instead of white and ground white meat turkey instead of beef. This is a keeper! And so much better for you than Hamburger helper......ICK!!!
