Spanish rice like mom used to make, just a bit easier using Rozie's Hot RelSa. This was a common dish growing up in the 60's, it smells so good cooking.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef, 90% lean
¼ cup Rozie’s Hot RelSa
½ green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 can (14 ½ ounces) stewed tomatoes
1 ½ cups water
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons tomato paste
Directions:
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef until no longer pink, no need to drain when using 90% lean. If using 75 or 80% fat, drain at this point.
Stir in the next 6 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is tender. Stir in tomato paste, cook until heated through.
