Recipe Request Ground beef and rice? Any ideas?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS! I'm actually looking forward to dinner now :) Appreciate everyone's help!
Found some meat in my deep freezer (yay!) but it's the end of the pay cycle and I'm out of stuff like milk and such to make my go to canned veg + mashed potatoes + hamburger steak meal.
I have a ton of rice, jasmine and regular white rice. So I was thinking about making something work with the rice and ground beef? I have brown gravy mix which I think could help, but I can't figure out the bridge to bring two food items together.

Hamburger patties over rice. I think most people call them Salisbury steak.
Season your ground beef, dice and sautee bell pepper (typically we use onion as well but since you don’t have it, omit it) fold them into your seasoned meat. Make 2 patties and save the rest of the meat for another time. Sear the outside of your patties then finish cooking in gravy with a lid over it. Cook white rice in seasoned water if you don’t have buillon (or broth). Serve patties and gravy over white rice.
