This recipe can be altered to fit any taste by adjusting how spicy and saucy you make it. On occasion, I like using ground turkey in place of the beef-or adding leftover spaghetti sauce instead of the tomato paste.

You can changed this up multiple ways to make it spicier or less spicy as you need it or like it. Super easy!!! And goes great with Mexican Cornbread and some mashed potatoes!

Provided by Cindy Dozier

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef
1 jalapeno, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can(s) diced tomatoes
1 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 c riced, cooked
1 pkg taco seasoning
salt to taste
pepper to taste
your favorite hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Add jalapeno and onion to skillet and let it cook for a couple of minutes. Then add your ground beef and brown it. Drain & return to skillet. Now I use a cast iron skillet for all my cooking - I just love my cast iron! Anyway - Then add your garlic and mix it in. Add tomatoes stir it in and then add your taco seasoning - (I don't add any water to this) Then I let it sit on low for about 3 minutes or so then I add the rice and hot sauce and salt and pepper to taste. After this you let it sit on low for an additional 2 or 3 minutes to marry in the hot sauce and then serve.
  • 2. I usually serve this with mashed potatoes and some mexican cornbread. My family loves it! You can always add more peppers or more hot sauce or leave them out all together if you don't like the heat.

Tips for Making Beefy Spanish Rice:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dish. Look for lean ground beef, long-grain rice, and ripe vegetables.
  • Brown the beef and vegetables before adding the rice. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Beef broth or chicken broth will add depth of flavor to the dish. You can also use vegetable broth if you prefer.
  • Cook the rice according to package directions. Be sure to use the correct amount of liquid and cook the rice until it is tender but not mushy.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Overcooked rice will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Season the rice to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve the rice immediately. Beefy Spanish rice is best served fresh and hot. It can be served as a main course or as a side dish.

Conclusion:

Beefy Spanish rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. With its bold flavors and simple ingredients, beefy Spanish rice is sure to become a family favorite.
