TEXAS HASH

Steps:

• In a skillet that has a tight fitting cover, heat olive oil over medium high.
• Add onion, peppers, garlic, ground beef, dry mustard, chili powder, salt and pepper. Sauté until ground beef is no longer pink, breaking up beef as you cook.
• Add rice and cook for two minutes letting rice absorb liquid.
• Add tomato paste and cook for one minute.
• Add canned tomatoes with juice, water and Worcestershire sauce. Stir, cover and simmer for 20 minutes covered.
• After 20 minutes, remove lid and fluff the mixture then serve. If the mixture is too wet, cook for another few minutes with lid off.
• If you are using the cheese, sprinkle on top for last few minutes of cooking time with lid on.
