Skillet Rice

Here's a quick and easy recipe from DebbieM.  I pretty much always have these things in my kitchen, so it's a good one to go to when you don't know what to make for dinner!

Skillet Rice

¼ cup oil

½ medium onion

½ bell pepper chopped

½ lb. ground beef or chicken (or 1/4 kg.)

1 cup rice uncooked

2--8oz. Cans tomato sauce (2 boxes tomato puree)

1 ¾ cup hot water

1 tsp. salt

Dash pepper

1 tsp. prepared mustard

Cheese for topping

Heat oil in skillet and add onion and bell pepper. Cook for several minutes then add the meat. Stir on medium high heat until browned. Add rice, tomato sauce, water, salt, pepper and mustard. Mix well. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Cheese can be added just before serving. Makes 4 servings.
