Recipe for Hearty Beef and Rice Dish: Plenty of Leftovers and Easy to Customize!

[freegirl555]

This makes A LOT of food this was taken after 4 boys and myself took our servings. I double the recipe I'm going to give you so there's plenty of left overs for the next day. You can also also add a bag of peas/carrots to this I didn't tonight.
1 box of beef ricearoni
1lb hamburger
Garlic
Seasonings to taste I use garlic, ranch seasoning, and hamburger seasoning in the hamburger
1 bag of frozen peas/carrots
Beef gravy (I do a home made gravy)
Cook the ground hamburger and rice separately add the peas and carrots to the rice when cooking once done combined with gravy.

Yummy! It's funny you said looks like dog food because I used to make my dogs something similar and it definitely looked similar. When I made it, I couldn't keep my kids away from it! Obviously mine had no spices or gravy but we used to love it for ourselves rather than the dogs! Lol

My husband loves that too.

I add peas to mine (it is not a hot dish without peas LOL)

My husband loves this too. Last night he had chicken rice-a-roni with some cubed leftover pork. He wanted peas and carrots, but we didn't have any in the freezer. We put gravy in the beef version.

@fridaytony01 I didn't have the frozen mix so I left it out tonight and did a salad on the side

 

[fridaytony01]

@freegirl555 it's definitely flexible!

 

[freegirl555]

@fridaytony01 it really is and honestly I didn't have this in my dinner plans for the week but I had all the stuff to do it and the weather went from 70s-80s to 40 today so it was definitely a good meal for a chilly night

I love this idea and it sounds right up our alley! THANKS FOR SHARING!

 

[freegirl555]

@dunk_x no problem!

We do this too without the gravy and everyone loves it!

Hahahaha I just accidently made something similar! I started with a cheese topped burger and beef rice...and was like "why not add corn?" That led to "hey left over Brussels join the party" then I covered it in gravy! Soooo strangely good.

We do this with mash potatoes instead of rice. Sounds so good.

In Louisiana, we call this dirty rice and eat it regularly.

@xcel4hisglory I'm from mass and my mil called it poor man's dinner so funny that we call it something different

 

[kanata1988]

@xcel4hisglory YES DIRTY RICE !!!!
