Rio Grande Especial Recipe

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 1/2 cups water
  • 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies
  • 1 cup instant rice
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  1. Cook and stir ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is crumbly and completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir water, tomato sauce, tomato paste, green chilies, instant rice, sugar, chili powder, garlic, oregano, cumin, and salt together with the cooked ground beef.
  2. Reduce heat to low, place a cover on the skillet, and cook mixture at a simmer until the flavors have blended and the beef is very tender, about 40 minutes.
