Rio Grande Beef Mix
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies
  • 1 cup instant rice
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until it breaks apart easily and turns a deep brown color, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Combine the cooked ground beef with water, tomato sauce, tomato paste, green chilies, instant rice, sugar, chili powder, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt in the skillet.
2
Lower the heat to a low setting and cover the skillet with a lid, then let it cook slowly over low heat until all the flavors have melded together and the beef is extremely tender, taking around 40 minutes.
