Kittencal's Mexi Ground Beef and Rice created by BKBroiler

This is a delicious tomato based rice dish, spicy pork sausage meat may be replaced for the ground beef which is what I prefer to use, make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the chili flakes, the olives may be omitted I strongly suggest to add them in you could substitute 3/4 cup frozen peas, this recipe was developed using converted rice I can't promise the same results using another kind of rice

2 -3 tablespoons oil
1 ¹⁄₂ lbs ground beef

4 garlic cloves, minced (don't skimp on the garlic add in more if desired)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 ¹⁄₂ cups chicken broth (can use water or half each, all chicken broth is better to use)

directions

Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add in ground beef with onion, bell pepper, garlic and chili flakes until no longer pink; drain fat, then continue cooking until the meat is browned (this may take 10-12 minutes, the beef must be browned!).
Mix in the taco seasoning mix until combined.
Add in all remaining ingredients including the juice from the canned tomatoes; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender.

this dish reminds me of a dish my Mom made when I was a child...except she didn't use taco seasoning back then. This dish is really tasty, Kitten! Thanks for sharing!

This is an easy and tasty dish. However, I feel something is missing in the flavor. I'm not a good enough cook to figure out what is missing, but the flavor just feels incomplete. That being said, I enjoyed this dish. I added hot sauce to my bowl, shredded cheese, and some crumbled tortilla chips. Eating the leftovers, I thought it might be good rolled up in a tortilla, which it was. So many different ways to eat this. I need to make this again and see about adding something...maybe a can of green chilies.

Very yummy. I used my homemade taco seasoning instead of the store-bought packet and reduced the crushed red pepper to 1/2 tsp. I also subbed corn for the olives. Thanks for the terrific recipe!
