Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup Can substitute with cream of chicken or other cream soup.
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables You can use fresh vegetables, but they may require longer cooking.
  • 1 cup rice Quinoa can be used as a healthier option, adjusting cooking times.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
  2. Once browned, drain any excess fat from the pan.
  3. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, frozen mixed vegetables, and rice.
  4. Add water as needed to ensure there is enough liquid.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  6. Cover the skillet and lower the heat to simmer.
  7. Cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes until the rice and vegetables are tender.

Notes

Serve hot from the skillet, garnished with parsley if desired. Pairs well with bread or a simple salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge or freeze for up to three months. Remember to thaw before reheating.
