- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions

- Step: Add the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, draining most of the excess grease if necessary.

Notes
Fire-roasted tomatoes are recommended for extra flavor. Jasmine rice is used here, but brown or other long-grain white rice also works. For slow cooker: brown beef first, then transfer to Crockpot with all ingredients except rice and seasoning; cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4 hours, adding rice 20-30 minutes before serving.
