This week's recipe is one that I consider a healthy, made-from-scratch "hamburger helper". Delicious and easy!
Since I wasn't on top of things this evening, here is the "after" picture. See how much we love it?!
Mexican Skillet
1 lb. hamburger (I use grass-fed/finished when possible)
Onion, diced small, to taste (1/2 cup or so)*
1 16 oz. can tomatoes (I use fresh or frozen from the garden when I have them)*
1 can Rotel (I use mild)*
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
6 cups cooked rice (I use long-grain brown rice, organic when possible) (Cook 2 cups dry rice in 4 cups water for approximately 6 cups cooked rice)
1 or 2 T salt (I use Real Salt)
1 T cumin
1 T garlic powder
1 T chili powder
1/2 lb. grated cheese (or less if you don't like a lot. We like a lot!)
Brown hamburger with onion in 10-inch cast iron skillet. Add all other ingredients except cheese and simmer 10 minutes or so. Sprinkle cheese over top, cover, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
*If you don't like "chunky", you can put tomatoes, Rotel, and onion in a blender and blend until smooth. This works well for kids!
