What You'll Need

  • 1 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, coarsely chopped

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/4 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch chunks

What to Do

  1. In a soup pot, brown ground beef and onion over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Drain off excess liquid.

This sounds very good. I will be trying it very soon. Will give a review then

Has all ingredients that I like, plus sounds quick. I'll try it. I was brought up to be polite. Sryan, you must relly like your neighbors dog.

How about leaving out the zucchini and feeding it to the neighbor's dog?

You read my mind!
