Cowboy Food (Gooseberry Patch)

Submitted by PSU Lioness

"This was a nice little recipe that I found in a Gooseberry Patch cookbook of my MIL's. It is a snap to throw together on a weeknight and my family enjoyed it. It's the base recipe for Cowboy Food and is very easy to manipulate into something terrific. For example, I added a can of diced green chilis, a second can of chili beans and a can of corn to give it some bulk. You could also add hot sauce, to taste. The possibilities are endless! Enjoy!"

This was basically the recipe off of the box of the Rice-A-Roni Spanish Rice, but it was just too bland for our family.
