Tempt My Tummy Tuesday ~ Hamburger Rice Skillet (2 Ways)

My girl Heidi posted a wonderful recipe that I had to make for the boys, yes we added corn per Caden's instance :). This was super easy and made such a big batch that I had left overs for a Round 2 Recipe (Thank you Sandra Lee for the idea). Cole loved this one so much he asked for it to be his warm up the next day for school. He even had it when he came home from school snack! Yup it was yummy!
HAMBURGER RICE SKILLET
HAMBURGER RICE SKILLET
1/2 to 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
1 onion, diced
2 cups cooked rice (leftover)
8 ounce can tomato sauce, or 1 cup chopped tomatoes (canned or fresh)
1/2 cup water
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Brown and drain ground beef with onion. Add rice, tomato, water, salt and pepper. Mix up, breaking the rice into small pieces if it clumps. Cover the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes. Add a little more water if necessary. Sprinkle the cheese over top and serve.

ALEXIS NOTES: Added in the corn and I used brown rice.
I then made enchilada's with the left over's, super yummy and easy! Enchilada sauce, cheese and whole wheat tortillas.

Blessed with Grace

  1. Not sure my family would go for the corn in the mixture, but otherwise it looks great. And I love that you can make enchiladas out of the same mixture!

  2. You could make this a round 3 and stuff it in green bell peppers for stuffed peppers! It's really good like that too :) I'm glad your family enjoyed it!
