One Skillet Beef Meatballs With Rice And Peas Food

ONE SKILLET BEEF MEATBALLS WITH RICE AND PEAS

Steps:

• Thaw the meatballs if they are frozen. I just stuck them in the microwave for a couple minutes. They don't have to be completely thaw, just enough that they will finish thawing and warm up while cooking the rice.
• Heat a high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil.
• When the oil shimmers, add the garlic and saute 1 minute, until fragrant.
• Add the meatballs and cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the beef broth, rice, garlic powder, pepper and salt. Scrape up any browned bits.
• Stir and bring the heat up to high so that it comes to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low to maintain a simmer. Cover with a lid.
• Continue to simmer with the lid on for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir at 15 minutes to make sure it isn't sticking.
• When the rice is cooked, remove from the heat and season to taste, adding more salt and pepper if you want.
• Stir in the peas. Add as much as looks good to you.
• Add the green onions and parsley, if using. Cover until the peas are warm, just a few minutes.
• This is great with a big green salad. I actually ate mine right on top of a bed of spinach. If you wanted you could stir fresh spinach into the meal and let it wilt while it's still on the stove.

Steps:

• In a medium sized pot, brown ground beef, with onion. (Add a clove or two of garlic if desired.).
• When the beef is done, add the peas and carrots, and 2 1/2 cups of water. Let it reach a boil, and turn heat to medium.
• After about 5 minutes, add the minute rice, and an additional 1/2 cup of water if needed. Simmer for 5 minutes or so, until the rice and vegetables are tender.
