Texas hash (slightly adapted)

1 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1poundsGround beef (we also sometimes use ground turkey)
1smallOnion, diced
½Sweet green pepper, diced
1smallCan tomatoes (we like to use the Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chilies here)
1cupCooked long-grain rice (or more, depending on how much you want/need to stretch it)
¼teaspoonChili powder (we use lots more, plus a healthy shot cumin)
Salt to taste

Directions

Cook the meat, onions and sweet pepper in a frying pan until the meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain off any excess fat.

Add the tomatoes, chili powder, and simmer briefly. Salt to taste.

Mix the meat mixture with the rice, and place in a casserole. Bake at 350 until the mixture is hot and lightly browned.

We also like this topped with grated cheddar or Parmesan cheese (added just before baking).
