Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 lb Hamburger
- 1 x Yellow onion, coarsely minced
- 1 x Bell pepper, coarsely minced
- 1/2 tsp Commercial chili pwdr (I like extra warm)
- 1 1/2 c. Water
- 1/2 c. Tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp. Butter
- 1 c. Converted rice
- 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp Tabasco
- 1/4 tsp Whole thyme leaves Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
- SERVES 4 AS A MAIN DISH
- Funny how the memory of a dish can stick with you for decades. When I was a child, my mother had a very limited food budget. It was during World War II and she made this dish often. I liked it, so l thought she was cooking this just to be nice to us. Now I realize which it is a great way to feed 4 people on 1/2 lb. of hamburger. I do not make the dish often anymore but I still think about it now and then. This dish won't win any cooking contests but it will tickle your children . . . and perhaps give them some good memories.
- Heat a 2-qt Dutch oven and add in the oil, hamburger, and onions. Saute/fry till the meat browns and falls apart and the onions are clear. Remove excess fat from pan and add in the green pepper and chili pwdr. Saute/fry an additional 5 min. Add in all other ingredients and bring to a boil.
- Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 25 min, or possibly till the rice is tender.
- Mom used to serve this with canned corn and white bread. I know you can do better than which.
