Menu Monday – Quick and Easy Spanish Rice
Menu Monday is a new feature I am starting as of today. We have three kids and stretching the food dollars was very important as they were growing. We found this recipe several years ago. It can be a side dish or double to make a meal. If you like peppers you can hollow out a pepper and use this for stuffed peppers. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
QUICK AND EASY SPANISH RICE AND BEEF
3/4 lb. ground beef
1 can (14 1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes
