Texas Hash

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 large onion, diced (thumb nail size)
• 1 green bell pepper, diced (thumb nail size)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, pintos work too. (drained)
• 3/4 cup uncooked rice (Uncle Ben's Long grain, not instant)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, I use low salt version (undrained)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Brown beef, onion, and bell pepper in 1 Tbsp oil.
2. Add beans, rice, water, tomatoes, chili powder, salt and pepper. Stir.
3. Cover and simmer over low heat 30 minutes until rice is done. Stirring occasionally.
4. Turn off heat, and let rest covered 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. Serve with a great corn bread and a salad for a complete meal. Parmesan or American cheese slices on top make this really great.
