Ingredients:
1kg Lean Mince
1 Onion, diced
6 Cups of Water
1 Cup Rice
1 tsp Oregano
1 Tbl Sugar
1/2 – 1 tsp Chilli Powder (depending on if the kids are eating it)
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Cumin
2 Cloves Garlic, finely minced
1 410g Can Tomato Puree
4 Tbl Tomato Paste
1 Can Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed thoroughly (or your favourite beans, tonight I am using a five bean mix)
Directions:
In a large pan/pot, brown your mince with the onion and garlic until the mince has completely browned and the onions are translucent.
Add water and remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes with the lid off, stirring occasionally to make sure the rice isn’t sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Don’t worry if the mixture appears watery, it will reduce as it simmers and thicken to make a nice sauce.
Serve with corn chips and your favourite salad toppings.
Now, kick back with the family and enjoy a Friday Night Movie.
