#753 - Cheeseburger Rice

(by Shirley McNevich)

1lb. ground chuck
1 chopped onion
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup Heinz ketchup
1 TBSP French's yellow mustard
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups Minute Rice original white rice (uncooked)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a skillet over medium heat add ground chuck, chopped onion, salt and pepper--stir, cook and brown until the beef is browned. Drain the fat off and return meat mixture to the skillet. Add water, ketchup, mustard--stir and bring to a boil. Add the uncooked rice--stir. Cover skillet with a lid, remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a fork. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and cover again--let it stand for 3 minutes until the cheese melts. This is a good filling for stuffed peppers.
