KITTENCAL'S MEXI GROUND BEEF AND RICE

Kittencal's Mexi Ground Beef and Rice image

This is a delicious tomato based rice dish, spicy pork sausage meat may be replaced for the ground beef which is what I prefer to use, make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the chili flakes, the olives may be omitted I strongly suggest to add them in you could substitute 3/4 cup frozen peas, this recipe was developed using converted rice I can't promise the same results using another kind of rice

4 garlic cloves, minced (don't skimp on the garlic add in more if desired)
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (can use water or half each, all chicken broth is better to use)

Add in all remaining ingredients including the juice from the canned tomatoes; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low cover and simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender.

KITTENCAL'S SPICY MEXI SAUSAGE AND RICE CASSEROLE

Kittencal's Spicy Mexi Sausage and Rice Casserole image

Substituting ground beef for the spicy Italian sausages will not be as good, Jimmy Dean's Spicy Pork Sausage may be used in place of the spicy Italian sausages --- although I have listed black beans red kidney beans also work well or you may use what you like, or if you are not a lover of beans you may omit, can also add in a 4-ounce can green chilies, I use lots of garlic for this you may reduce amount if desired

KITTENCAL'S GROUND BEEF AND FETA RICE BALLS

Kittencal's Ground Beef and Feta Rice Balls image

Crunchy on the outside with a delicious ground beef-rice filling oozing with melted chunks of feta cheese, I would suggest to purchase the block of feta cheese and coarsely crumble into small chunks, you may freeze the remainder of the feta to use for another time --- due to the high sodium amount in the feta cheese and Parmesan cheese I strongly suggest to season with salt until after you have added both cheeses --- I have listed the yield at 35 balls this is only estimated you may get a few more more or less, good thing this makes lots you will have them gone in not time! --- you may adjust amounts to suit taste, this recipe is very versatile.

Time 39m

Yield 35 balls

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1/2 lb ground beef (or use spicy or mild Italian sausages with casings removed)
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped (garlic-lovers use more)
3 cups cooked rice, firmly packed when measuring
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup melted butter
2/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons dried parsley (can use 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley)
1/3 cup coarsely crumbled feta cheese (can use more)
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional add in for more garlic flavor)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 egg (may need another egg)
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

In a skillet cook the ground beef with onion and garlic until browned; drain fat then transfer to a large bowl, cool slightly.
Add in the rice with the next 6 ingredients; using hands mix to combine, then season with salt and pepper and some garlic powder if desired for more garlic flavor.
Chill the mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Shape into about 1-1/2-inch balls.
In a small bowl lightly beat the remaining egg.
Place the dry breadcrumbs into another bowl.
Dip each rice ball into the egg then coat in the breadcrumb mixture (I would suggest to coat all the balls and place on a plate before starting to fry them).
When you have all the balls on the plate flatten down slightly with the palm of your hand this will allow for a quicker and more even browning.
Heat oil in a skillet or a deep-fryer to 375 degrees.
Fry the balls until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
Serve with hot marinara sauce.

MEXI GROUND BEEF-RICE SKILLET

Mexi Ground Beef-Rice Skillet image

This is quite tasty, the jalapeno pepper is only optional I like to add in for extra heat, Italian sausages with the casings removed may be used in place of the ground beef or use ground turkey, I also like to add in some cooked crumbled bacon or smoked dry sliced sausage but that is only optional :)
