Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 1 Cup uncooked converted white rice
• 0.5 Cup yellow onion, minced
• 0.5 Cup green bell pepper, minced
• 1 Pound (lb) ground beef
• 1 Cup canned corn, drained
• 6 Ounce (oz) can tomato sauce
• 0.5 Cup ketchup
• 1 Cup water
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cumin
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground

Steps

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the uncooked rice, minced onion, and minced green bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are tender and the rice is lightly toasted.
2. Add the ground beef to the saucepan. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
3. Stir in the canned corn, tomato sauce, ketchup, and water. Add the garlic powder, ground cumin, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
5. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, and enjoy the savory blend of flavors.
