The other night we had ground beef to use for dinner. We had a box of the Hamburger Helper in the pantry, but I wasn't interested in the 'flavor' we had. The thing about the Helper...when you're not in the mood to do much, it does get something on the table for dinner. Well, this sort of Chili & Rice Helper One Pot Meal worked well, filled us up and used up some foodstuffs we've been sitting on.
1 pound ground beef
*Brown the beef until cooked. Drain fat. (I didn't...it was a little oily)
1 packet of fajita seasoning (this has been in our cupboard for AGES!!! So happy it's gone.)
Spices...chimayo chili, ancho chili, cayenne, salt, pepper, oregano.
1 TB tomato paste
*Blend the seasonings and tomato paste into the beef.
1 cup beer
1 can diced tomatoes
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup of rice.
*Add the beer, tomatoes, corn and rice. Stir, cover and simmer until the rice is cooked.
Serve with corn chips, shredded cheese and sour cream.

Although I'm loathe to invoke her name lately, this is like a Rachel Ray recipe. It's simple, it's fast, and it's a make-it-yourself version of a common recipe (a sort of chili thing).
Made great leftovers.
