I have become a huge fan of meals being ready in 30 minutes or less. This Spanish rice is another great one for the list! I’m adding it to our list of favorite 30 minute meals along with eggroll skillet and skillet mac and beef.
Thanks to this Spanish rice recipe, I can feed my family a great meal, without them getting stuck with cereal, or perhaps goldfish… because that’s never happened before.

Brown your ground beef in a skillet with a lid, drain the fat. Add in your diced onions, and seasonings.
Add in your rice, tomato paste, water, and diced tomatoes. Mix well, you don’t want to bit into a clump of tomato paste. Cover for 5 minutes, or until rice is cooked.
