The combination of ground beef, tomato sauce, and rice is not only delicious but also filling and nutritious. You can also add some vegetables to make it even more wholesome.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is about 10 minutes. You will need to chop some onions and garlic, and measure out the rice and tomato sauce. You can also prepare any vegetables you want to add at this time.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is about 35-40 minutes. You will need to cook the ground beef, saute the onions and garlic, and then mix everything together with the tomato sauce. The rice will cook separately, and you can either cook it on the stove or in a rice cooker.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Medium saucepan
  • Stirring spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water or chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onions and saute for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and saute for another minute.
  4. Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine. If using vegetables, add them now. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer to a serving dish. Spoon the ground beef tomato sauce over the rice and serve hot.

Notes

You can use any type of ground meat for this recipe, such as turkey or chicken. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice, but the cooking time will be longer. If you want to make this recipe ahead of time, you can prepare the ground beef tomato sauce and rice separately and then combine them when you are ready to serve.
