This was one of my husbands favorite recipes. A salad and crusty bread make a whole meal. I've used ground turkey in place of the ground beef and it's still delicious. It's quick to make and can be tweeked easily. I sometimes use barley instead of rice. Can do in the slow cooker if you wish. Enjoy.
