Arroz Rojo With Beef

Submitted by Pinay0618

"My kids love the pre-packaged "helper" meals, but I'm not crazy about the cost or the mystery ingredients. This recipe from Swanson is a homemade version of those. I've submitted the recipe as I received it, but we found it pretty bland - so we do add salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, along with fresh chopped garlic instead of the garlic powder."

ingredients

• 3⁄4 lb lean ground beef
• 1 large onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
• 1 medium green pepper, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
• 1 3⁄4 cups swanson beef stock

• 3⁄4 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
• shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• sour cream (optional)

directions

1. Cook the beef, onion and pepper in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is well browned, stirring often to separate the meat. Pour off any fat.
2. Stir the stock, tomato sauce, chili powder and garlic powder in the skillet and heat to a boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Serve with the cheese and sour cream, if desired.
