1 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 C. chopped onion
1 C. chopped green pepper
1 ~ 2 Tbsp. chili powder or season to taste
1 ~ 2 tsp. salt
16 oz. can tomatoes, (may use crushed)
1 tsp. black pepper or to taste
1 C. water
3/4 C. rice

In a large heavy pan, brown the meat, stirring continuously to break up any large pieces. Drain off all except 1 Tbsp. of fat. Stir in the onion, pepper and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and chili powder. Add the tomatoes, water and rice. Bring to a boil. Stir once, then cover and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Serves 4.
