New recipe!
I an trying to eliminate wheat from my regular diet. That means no bread, muffins, cakes and pretty much all baked goods.
Rice and potatoes I can have so today's new recipe has some rice in it. It's healthy also because there is no added fat to it. I browned the meat without any oil or butter. You can eliminate the cheese or use fat free cheese if you are watching your fat calories.
A good meal and I can easily cut leftovers in squares and freeze for later use. Yummy!
2 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion chopped fine
1/4 cup red, green or yellow pepper chopped
1- 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup chili sauce
3/4 cup long grain rice
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 cup water
pinch pepper
1/2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
1 cup shredded sharp cheese
fresh cilantro optional
Note: The original recipe called for 1 tsp. of brown sugar. I did eliminate it. I thought it would be too sweet.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a medium Dutch oven pot Brown beef and drain off excess fat. Add onion, diced pepper, tomatoes, water, rice, chili sauce, salt, cumin, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper and cook over low heat.
Let simmer on low for approximately 30 to 40 minutes stirring occasionally until rice is tender.
Transfer ingredients into a 13x9 inch baking dish. Cover with cheese. Bake 375 degrees for approximately 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let set for a few minutes. Cut into medium size squares. A vinaigrette dressing served over a green salad would compliment this dish. Enjoy!
