Fast, easy and inexpensive.

Ingredients

1/2-1lb Ground beef

1 Green pepper, chopped

2 stalks Celery, chopped

1 Onion, chopped

3 cloves Garlic, minced

1 cup Rice

3-4 Beef bouillon cubes

1 teaspoon Paprika or chili powder

1/4-1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

3-4 cups Water

1 1/2 tablespoons Soy sauce

1 cup Spinach or broccoli, chopped

Preparation

Brown and drain meat. Add next 4 ingredients. Saute until onions are tender. Add rice, spices, bouillon, 3 cups water, soy sauce and broccoli or spinach, if you're using them. Bring to a boil. Simmer covered for 30 minutes, checking halfway through. Add more water if needed.

Cook's Notes

Instead of bouillon and water, 3-4 cups of beef stock can be used. This would likely taste just as good with ground poultry or pork.
