• 1 lb. ground meat
• 3 cups uncooked long grain white rice( I use Uncle Ben's)
• 4 tbsp. Creole Seasoning (used Zatarain's)
• 1 1/2 tbsp. Zatarain's Dehydrated Sweet Bell Peppers
• 1 tbsp. minced Onion (used McCormick's)
• 1 tbsp. minced garlic
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• 6 1/2 cups water
• 2 tbsp. of butter
• *dash of paprika on top for taste

1. Brown ground beef in large skillet on medium-high heat, make sure you ground it up in very small pieces, then drain and set aside. In a large saucepan bring water to a boil add all the seasonings and butter stir until mixed. Then add the meat and rice; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 25 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with fork before serving.Dash with paprika and enjoy!
2. You can use fresh peppers and onion. For my quick version I didn't. This make's 8-12, 1 cup servings. We like left overs in my house!!

This is great when you need a super fast weeknight supper or even a quick potluck dish.
