SPANISH RICE WITH GROUND BEEF
Growing up, my mom made a version of Spanish rice with ground beef that was hearty enough that it stood on its own as a main dish. During a visit a few years ago, after missing her cooking desperately, I watched her prepare it and jotted down the recipe. (Don't worry, I checked with my mom and she's totally on board with sharing with you!) Serve on a bed of fresh spinach with a side of refried beans. Garnish with fresh diced tomatoes, green onions, cheese, avocado slices, and crushed chile flakes.

BEEF, BLACK BEAN AND SPANISH RICE BURRITOS
This is the first original recipe I've posted on this site, I'm so excited...It's one of the few meals that I literally just throw together, but I'll try to write it down. When our family eats tacos, we usually have homemade spanish rice, homemade refried beans and tacos. Tonight I had an epiphany....why not double what I normally make and make up some burritos with the leftovers and throw them in the freezer? I usually make this recipe from scratch because they taste that good, but why not cook once and eat twice? This will make a great OAMC meals also, though I haven't tried it yet. I'll give you the ingredients for making it from scratch, and if you decide to turn it into two meals, just double everything...If you don't have the spices separately, just use a taco mix pack. We like ours without salt and really spicy, so I tamed this back a bit. If you like a runny, non-chunky salsa, you don't have to add as much water.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350.
- 2. Start on the spanish rice first, as it will take the longest. In a pot, put rice, salsa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook for about 17-19 minutes.
- 3. Begin to brown ground beef in a pan, add all seasoning and cook until browned. May need to drain fat, depending on how you like your beef. Don't worry about getting your meat a little spicier than you might normally like it, because combining all these will tame down your meat and make the overall meal better.
- 4. While the meat is browning you can start the beans. In a sauce pan, heat up the oil. I drain almost all of the liquid out of the can and put it the pan. I add the garlic powder after the beans and real garlic before.
- 5. When all are finished cooking, I mix in a large bowl and mix in the cheese. I spray a 9x13 pan. I fill the tortillas and wrap them up like burritos and put them in the pan. I put it in the oven for about 15 minutes. We usually just add salsa on top of it.
- 6. If you're going to freeze, put in a plastic bag and lay flat in the freezer. I would thaw them out the day you're going to cook them. You may need to cook them a little longer if they're cold out of the refrigerator.

BEEF & YELLOW SPANISH RICE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
Another recipe from my MIL. Very simple, fast, and tasty. I've listed the spices I used, but honestly, I have no idea how much of each spice. Anywhere between 5-8 "shakes" of each. Season to your taste! Or substitute sausage for the ground beef.

Steps:
- Set oven to broil.
- Brown beef (or sausage) in a large pan with the spices (if using sausage, don't add the spices).
- While beef is browning, prepare yellow rice as instructed on bag or box (or use your own recipe) in another large pan.
- While beef and rice are cooking: rinse, halve, and seed your bell peppers and place them hollowed-side up in a 13 x 7 inch baking dish.
- When beef is done browning, add the beef, diced tomatoes, and 1.5 cups of cheese in with the rice pan and stir till thoroughly mixed.
- Put a heaping spoonful of rice mixture into each bell pepper. They'll probably overflow --
- Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over the top of the stuffed peppers.
- Broil the stuffed peppers until cheese on top is just melted and bubbly (about 15 minutes).
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- When selecting beef for this dish, choose a cut that is relatively inexpensive and tough, such as flank steak or chuck roast. These cuts will become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly in the flavorful sauce.
- If you don't have any beef broth on hand, you can substitute water or chicken broth. However, beef broth will give the dish a more rich and flavorful taste.
- If you like your Spanish rice to be spicy, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as chopped bell peppers, onions, or corn. This will make the dish more colorful and nutritious.
- Serve Spanish rice with a dollop of sour cream or guacamole, and a side of refried beans or tortillas.
