Texas Mince and Rice
Needed:
500g ground beef (mince)
2 tbsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 large can stewed tomatoes
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 large green pepper, chopped
3/4 cup instant rice
Method:
Mix together in a large microwave casserole dish the mince, chilli powder and pepper. Cook in microwave for 7 minutes, stiring half way. Drain all the horrible fat. Then add in all other ingredients. WARNING: stiring this concoction is a nightmare, so be careful! Also, a suggestion - add the canned tomatoes last and don't bother stiring them in, just leave them on top. Cook again for 10 - 15 minutes, or until the onions and peppers have softened. Sit for 5 minutes (a good time to cook the accompanying veggies!)
This would taste so much better if it wasn't cooked in the microwave... Try using a deep pan (cast-iron preferably) or a wok. If you use cast-iron, you can brown the beef, drain it, add everything else, and then plunk it in the oven to finish it off. this would also facilitate crusting the top with pepper-jack cheese for added flavour.
