Beef Spanish Rice

Wow there are a lot of great spanish rice recipes on zaar but none just like our family favorite. The original recipe came from a hamburger cookbook from sometime in the 70's. the cookbook bit the dust years ago but not this recipe. It's a good basic recipe that lots of things could be added to for personnel preferences. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Steps

Brown hamburger and drain.

Add all other ingredients to the beef and bring to a boil then lower heat to low and cover.

Cook for 20 minutes.

Remove and discard bay leaves and enjoy.

I usually cook the green pepper with the beef when browning beef and if using onions would also cook with the browning beef.

Ingredients

lean ground beef, converted rice, water, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, green pepper, chili powder, garlic, black pepper, salt, bay leaves, onion, black olives
