Spanish Rice

This is one of my quick and easy meals that I learned about from my friend Virginia. I love it because it is similar to a semi-homemade hamburger helper!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 onion
1/2 green pepper
1 small can of mild green chilies
1 32oz can of diced tomatoes
2 cups water
3 cups of cheese
1 package of Spanish Rice (with seasoning already in the package)

Directions:
1. Brown the ground beef, add onions, green pepper, green chilies. Let cook until the onions are cooked.
2. Add the package of Spanish rice, pour the tomatoes over top, then the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the cheese over top, cover and simmer until melted. Mix thoroughly. Serve with tortilla chips or corn bread.

Enjoy!
