If you're making a batch of rice for tacos, burritos, or salads, you owe it to yourself to jazz it up a bit. This variety is plenty zesty thanks to taco seasoning and diced tomatoes.

ingredients
3 pounds lean ground beef
3 onion, diced
1 1/2 package taco seasoning mix
3 cans (15 ounce size) diced tomatoes, undrained
9 cups cooked rice
directions
Place the ground beef and onion in a Dutch oven or other large pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, and cooked rice to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and let cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until heated through.
Serve the taco rice hot with flour tortillas, shredded lettuce, fresh diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese if desired (or eat as is!).
The rice freezes well.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Good spanish style rice. I added chopped green bell pepper that I sauteed with the onion and meat.
I made this recipe sclaed down to 8 people. It turned out surprisingly good. I do not "cook" too much and it did not dawn on me that 6 cups of cooked rice is a lot different than 6 cups of uncooked rice. From what I am able to discern online, approximately 1 cup of uncooked = 3 cups of cooked. Next time I make this, I am definitely going to make sure I go for the uncooked measurment. I ended up with way too much rice, but it was still good. I also added two tablespoons of minced garlic to the meat when cooking it and added sour cream and for cheese, used "taco cheese" and topped it all off with picante sauce....everyone in the family loved it, so I am sure it will be even better with the correct amount of rice.....I will comment again and rate the dish once I have used the correct amount of rice..even though I used way too much rice, as I said, everyone still liked it...
