CHILI WITH RICE



Chili With Rice image

I didn't know what to call this recipe because it is one I have made up. Or maybe I adapted it from something many years ago. This is a nice spicy chili dish that is prepared in one large skillet. Very tasty and good comfort food.

Provided by Reggies Mom

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 lb lean ground beef
1 (11 ounce) can corn
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes
1 cup long grain rice
1 1/2-2 cups water
1 -2 Oxo beef cube
chili powder
salt
pepper
1 teaspoon oil
2 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Chop onion and begin browning in large skillet in the oil for a couple of minutes. Add the ground beef and brown.
  • While the meat and onions are browning, bring a pot of water to a boil and add the long grain rice. (This is just to pre-cook the rice) Keep on a gentle boil for approximately 15 minutes, drain.
  • To the skillet with the browned meat.
  • Add the entire can of tomatoes including the juice, breaking up the large pieces. Add the can of corn which has been drained and add the partially cooked rice.
  • Add approximately one cup of the beef stock. Season with the chili powder, salt and pepper to taste.
  • You should have a fairly runny mixture at this point. Don't worry, the rice will soak up the liquid as it finishes cooking.
  • Cover the skillet and allow to simmer for about 1/2 hour or until the rice is cooked through.
  • I like to taste it and add more chili powder to suit my taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, is best for this recipe. It will cook up light and fluffy, and won't become mushy.
  • Soak the barley before cooking: Soaking the barley for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help it to cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans in your chili. Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to chili. Try adding chopped onions, peppers, carrots, or corn.
  • Season the chili to taste: Be sure to taste the chili as it cooks and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more chili powder, cumin, or salt.

Conclusion:

This chili with rice and barley is a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice and barley. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
