Spanish Rice (Soup)

My family just calls this Spanish Rice, but it’s soupier than regular Spanish Rice so I guess it would be considered a soup?! 🙂

Difficulty: Easy

Servings: 4-6 people

Cook Time: Until Green Peppers are soft  

Ingredients

1 pound hamburger, browned and drained

2 large green peppers, cubed

1 can (46 fl oz) tomato juice

Black Pepper (I don’t salt anything)

Cooked white rice…I usually make about 2 cups and make more if I have left over sauce.

Directions

Brown and drain hamburger in a large pot, add the chopped up green pepper, add the tomato juice. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil until the green peppers are soft. Don’t over cook or the juice will evaporate.

Make whatever rice you want.

In the bowl, I put the rice and then scoop over the sauce and mix it up. For extra tang, I add some Heinz Ketchup to the bowl…sorry if that sounds gross, just how I have always eaten it.
