Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 large, diced onion
• 1 large, diced green bell pepper
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 cup, uncooked long-grain white rice
• 14.5 ounces, undrained canned diced tomatoes
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 cup, shredded (optional for topping) cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.

Step 2

Cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Stir in the uncooked rice, canned diced tomatoes (including liquid), tomato sauce, water, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet or pot with a lid and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

Step 6

Stir the hash occasionally to prevent sticking, and check the rice for doneness.

Step 7

Once the rice is tender, remove from the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your hearty Grandma Jones Texas Hash!
