Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 2 tablespoons butter (original has 1/2 cup!)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (I used garlic salt)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained (I used jarred mild salsa, rotel tomatoes with chilies would be good)
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, liquid reserved
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- Sour cream, to serve (optional)
How to Make

-
Step 2: When the rice is nearly done, saute onion in butter.
-
Step 3: Crumble beef and add to onion with garlic, mustard, chili powder, salt and pepper. Cook until meat loses pinkness. Drain grease, if needed.

-
Step 5: Combine paprika and cheese and sprinkle over the top.
