Most of my favorite recipes—including this one—come from my mother-in-law, who's a truly terrific cook. By including rice in this taco-type dish, you can forgo the tortillas—Mary McCann, Falmouth, Virginia

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups instant rice, cooked
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 jar (16 ounces) salsa
1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
1 chicken bouillon cube
Tortilla chips
Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese, kidney beans, sour cream, sliced ripe olives

Directions

Prepare rice according to package directions. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking meat into crumbles; drain. Stir in salsa, tomato sauce and bouillon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in rice. Serve with tortilla chips and toppings of your choice.

Serve Taco Rice at your next buffet dinner by making a double batch in advance and reheating it in a slow cooker. Ask each guest to bring a taco topping, such as diced tomatoes, chopped onions, shredded lettuce or any of the optional toppings listed in the recipe.
