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.

This Spanish rice with ground beef has become a favorite meal around. I buy ground beef in huge family packs and then freeze it into smaller portions for meals.

This has a long list of ingredients, don’t let that scare you. This an is easy meal to make, and it’s ready in 30 minutes. If it’s ready in 30 minutes it can’t be that hard to make, right? It has a lot of flavor with all those ingredients.

What you need:

• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ teaspoon dry mustard
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup long grain white rice
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 14.5- ounce can diced tomatoes with juice
• 1/2 cup water

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

How to make Spanish Rice:

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.
