Dinner Tonight, Rice La Mamma!

For dinner tonight I made a family favorite, Rice La Mamma!  This is a recipe that my Grammy made up when my mom was a kid.  Now the whole family uses it, aunts, uncles and grand kids alike.  It's super simple and taste delicious.


Rice La Mamma:
1 pound ground hamburger
1 cup rice uncooked
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 TBS chili powder
1 can red kidney beans (drained)
1 can Rotel

 First you need 1 cup of uncooked rice. I use white rice, but if you want it to be healthier brown rice would work great too.  Start cooking the rice according to the package instructions.

 

While the rice is cooking you can get 1 pound of hamburger and start browning it.

Then you need to gather 1 can of red kidney beans (drained), 1 can rotel (I use hot because I like heat), 1/4tsp of cayenne pepper, 1tsp onion powder, 2tsp garlic powder, 1TBS chili powder and salt and pepper to taste.

After you measure out all of the ingredients combine them with the browned hamburger.  Make sure everything is combined well then mix in your cooked rice.  Once the rice is mixed in let it simmer for about 5 minutes to let all of the flavors combine.  Next all that's left to do is enjoy!
