I make this and freeze half of it for a quick Friday or Saturday night I don't want to cook, but want junk food type of dinner. It is also really great on homemade nachos!

1 lb. Ground Beef (brown and drain)
1 c. water
2-3 tablespoons Chili Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Garlic Salt to taste

Put meat in saucepan with water. Add chili powder, salt, pepper, and garlic salt and simmer 30-45 min. Add additional water if needed.

Thanks!

Spanish Rice

Beef roast or stew meat can work
1 pack of Lipton onion soup
1 onion
garlic
s&p
rice
canned diced tomatoes

Cook roast, onion soup mix, 1 onion (cut up the way you like it), garlic, s&p & just enough water to cover the roast, in a crockpot. Cook until roast is done. I cook mine a long time, because I like my roast to fall apart. Once roast is done, take the roast out & put in the desired amount of uncooked rice & diced tomatoes. Stir & let them cook until rice is done. Take roast & cut or shed. Put back into crockpot & stir with rice & tomatoes.

It's a very easy tasty dish. And made with stuff most of us already have in the cabinet.
