I Call it Dirty Rice

It's not really "dirty rice," at least not in the traditional sense, but whatever you might call in "real life," all I can say is that it's good eats, and in the end, whatever it might be named, that's really all that matters, right? I browned some ground beef, then drained it and set it aside. In went about a quarter stick of butter, along with onions, celery, and red peppers. Cooked that up a bit and then I added in 1 cup of raw rice and let that cook a bit in the buttery veggie mixture. Then I added the ground beef back in and added some garlic powder, curry powder, thyme, Italian seasoning, and some soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce and let that cook about a minute or so more before adding in 3 cups of beef broth. Cooked that mixture for about 15 minutes, then lidded it and let it sit for a few more minutes and served. I have done this dish a few times and it always turns out really good and filling, and is sometimes exactly what the doctor ordered. Do you ever make a dish like this?

No. Rice is not a favorite although I will eat it with Chinese, etc. I prefer potatoes.

I like all my starches. Potatoes, pasta, rice...they all have a place in my pantry. I actually love rice more than I do pasta, but potatoes probably win the prize ribbon overall.

I've never made it that complete, maybe just rice with chili sauce would be enough for me.

I used to make something like that when we were more people at the table. It is really good and I put in every veggy that was in the fridge.

This would be an excellent dish to combine some leftovers and use things up for sure. Although, I generally relegate that to soups and casseroles.

I've mixed rice with ground beef and veggies. I don't make it very often because I forget about it
