Directions
I usually sauté the beef with the chopped onions and bell pepper, cooking until the beef is cooked through. Then I stir in sauce and spices. Dump in rice when it's done. I like to simmer it covered on the stove in a big dutch oven, or you can also bake it on low. It saturates the rice well with the flavors. Maybe do that for half an hour (or not -- you can also just stir it all together and eat it immediately).
