Ingredients
 

Directions

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium high heat until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain well.
  • To the beef in the skillet, add undrained tomatoes, water, salt, and onions. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Stir in the rice, undrained beans with jalapenos until thoroughly mixed; cover.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes with the lid on. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Notes

For the beans with jalapenos, you can substitute a 15-ounce can of regular Ranch Style Pinto Beans (without jalapenos) plus a 4-ounce can of diced jalapeno peppers. This also allows you to customize your heat level by adding more or less jalapenos.
