Spicy Rice With Ground Beef (One Dish Meal)

Tara0503's Note:

This recipe is quick and easy to make. It has alot of flavour and heats up well the next day. If you are cooking for a larger group its really versatile. Cups of beef broth need to=cups of rice thats all you need to remember. This is a fun recipe to play around with. For an Italian flavour substitute Italian seasoning for the spicy pepper medley etc.

This is a really nice meal that is fast and easy to prepare. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I made it pretty much as it is written, with the exception that I had no pepper medley. Instead I used a combo of black pepper and ground jalapeno. I only had a small can of tomatoes, so I added a can of Rotel as well. Then, since I already had rice cooked, I left the beef broth out and served the rice on the side. Even with all these substitutions, this dish was delicious. It was like chili without the beans. DELICIOUS!
