Seasoned Beef And Rice

Bring rice to a boil in 2 quarts of water until grains are tender, about 25 minutes; avoid stirring too often or it will become mushy. Drain rice when cooked and set aside in saucepan.

Brown ground beef in a separate pan. Add onion, bell pepper and taco seasoning then stir until well blended.

Meanwhile, spoon the prepared ground beef in the middle of a large plate and add the rice around the ground beef. The melted butter may be drizzled over the rice (additional seasoning may also be added, to taste).
