ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 2 teaspoons adobo seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (15 ounce) can rotel original tomatoes and green chilies
- 4 cups chicken broth
directions
- In a heavy 4 quart saucepan brown ground beef with the onion and garlic over medium heat. Drain only if there is a large amount of grease.
- Add the chopped green pepper and simmer 5 minutes.
- Add the adobo, cumin, paprika, cayenne, cilantro ground pepper and salt. Mix through.
- Add the rice and simmer stirring often; at some point you'll realize things are starting to stick, that's when you add the tomato sauce and Rotel tomatoes.
- Allow to simmer until you become bored, usually this takes me about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth and stir the mixture well.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat and allow to simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes for a crunchy rice or covered for a softer rice.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I'm a displaced Hoosier now living in the Land of Lincoln. A nurse by occupation and lover of life by choice. I began cooking with my Grandmother on the farm where she had hired hands to feed a hearty breakfast and lunch. I joined 4H as soon as I was old enough and loved compeating at the county fair. I spent 2 years in Germany after high school living in a small town. The neighbor ladies took me under their wings and taught me to make many local favorites. Not exactly a pet peeve but close: I find it sad to look in the grocery carts while shopping and see them full of frozen meals and junk foods. <br /> I have scaled down my collection of cookbooks as I found some I never used. The favorites I kept include Southern Living 1979-1990. I also use many recipes from Bert Green cookbooks.</p>
