Rice Partially Cooked With Beef Food

BEEF AND RICE STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In large skillet on medium heat, start browning ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.
• When partially cooked, add salt, onions, garlic, and mushrooms and continue cooking until soft and ground beef browns.
• Add sherry to deglaze.
• Add beef broth and Minute rice, bring to boil, cover and simmer 10 minutes.
• Check rice and if needed, simmer another 5 minutes.
• Stir in sour cream and heat through, add pepper to taste.

BEEF OVER RICE

Steps:

• Cook the rice as you would normally (I put it in a rice maker.).
• Saute' onion, and cook ground beef over medium heat in a large skillet, (add the beef a few minutes after the onion.) Drain off the fat (I usually rinse it under warm water.).
• Return to skillet. Add onion soup mix and water, bring to a boil and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
• Serve warm over rice.
• note: The soup mix thickens the water slightly, but it still will have a watery consistency. The extra liquid will soak into the rice and flavor it.
