HEARTY SPANISH RICE BAKE
Ground beef, fresh onion, green bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, and rice are simmered in a sweet-hot sauce then baked with Cheddar cheese and garnished with fresh cilantro. Spice it up with Ro-Tel® instead of regular canned tomatoes, cayenne, and jalapeno peppers. I have also added extra Cheddar cheese and you can substitute a Mexican blend or any other cheese if you like. Warning: this will spice up your life if you use the optional ingredients.

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.

BEEFY SPANISH RICE
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Long-grain rice, such as basmati or jasmine, works best for Spanish rice. It will stay fluffy and separate, even after cooking.
- Rinse the rice before cooking: Rinsing the rice removes the starch, which helps to prevent it from becoming sticky.
- Use a large skillet or pot: You want to have enough space for the rice to spread out and cook evenly.
- Sauté the vegetables before adding the rice: This helps to bring out their flavor and add color to the dish.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add a lot of flavor to the rice. Choose a broth that you enjoy the taste of.
- Cook the rice over low heat: This will help to prevent the rice from burning or sticking to the pot.
- Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Spanish rice with ground beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its flavorful broth, tender beef, and colorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give Spanish rice with ground beef a try.
