Thiis freezes well, great for a side dish, or add chicken for a main dish.

I got this recipe from my MIL many years ago, I think she got it out of one of the River Road cookbooks. This is one of my son's favorite meals; I make onion bread to go with it.

Texas Hash

1 lb lean ground beef
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can diced tomatoes with juice
1-8 ounce can tomato sauce
2 cups water (do not decrease the water)
1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 to 2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

Brown beef and onions in a large skillet over medium heat. When onions are translucent, add garlic and green pepper; cook until green pepper is softened.

Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients. Transfer mixture to the casserole dish; cover with lid or foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until rice is done.
