Chop:

   - 1 onion

   - 1 green pepper

Cook onion and pepper in the 5 qt pot along with:

   - 1-2 lb ground beef

 

Drain beef and season with:

   - taco seasoning

   - salt

Add:

   - 2-3 cups uncooked rice

   - 3 cups cooked beans (pinto, red, black, and/or kidney)

   - 1-2 cups diced tomato or salsa

   - enough water to cover everything

Cook on medium-high heat until it starts to boil, stirring regularly. Then, turn the heat to low and simmer until rice is cooked. If the rice starts sticking to the bottom of the pot, the heat is too high.
