Thursday DECLUTTERING!

[amy v]

If any of you are still up reading....will you please pray for my dss.
Ds1 has been coughing for a week now. He sounds some better but still coughing alot.
Ds2 has now started coughing. Right now he is coughing so hard he will either lose his breath or he starts gagging.

Please pray they can get some rest tonight and the coughing gets better.

Thank you

Michelle, praying here. I have had a cough for a while and finally went to urgent care on Tuesday. Thought it all started with my allergies, but they but me on Zithromax. Still coughing, but I do think it is better.

I hope your sons can get some rest!

I will give you the recipe then tell you how I cook it I don't always follow instructions very well

Cowboy Rice

1lb ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 can tomatoes
1/2 cup uncooked rice
2 tsp. chili powder
2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Preheat oven to 350*. In skillet, brown ground beef, drain off fat. Add onions and peppers. Cook and stir until veggies are tender. Stir in tomatoes, rice, and seasonings. Heat through. Pour into ungreased 2 qt casserole dish. Cover and bake for 1 hour.

Ok here is what I do.

I don't use all the onions and peppers. Lots of the time I leave them out totally (dh doesn't care for them) Ground beef amounts vary by what I have on hand. I always add more rice (to stretch it).

I brown the ground beef (or take a bag I have precooked out of freezer and pop in microwave).
When meat is done I add the onions and peppers (or start these in a skillet while warming meat and gathering other stuff)


Then I mix everything together and dump in a casserole dish and bake.

I use the big can of tomatoes and always at least 1 cup of rice, sometimes 2cups. I just add extra tomatoes and a tad of water. Oh and double or triple the chili powder and pepper. I don't so much the salt since that can be added at the table to suit each persons taste.

My guys like to add ketchup on it when eating. It is really good cooked like it should be, I just played with it to stretch it.

Sounds yummy! Thanks
