mom's spanish rice with ground beef
My mom made this from the time I can remember, and it's always been a family favorite with everyone! I don't think it's really a "Spanish" style rice, but that's what she always called it, and I just don't have another name for it! Ha! We make this as a main dish, but if you leave out the ground beef, it's a great side dish with chicken or beef.
