Spanish Rice

1-1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 pkg Rice-a-Roni Spanish rice mix
1 lg can tomato juice
2 tsp dehydrated onion
1-3/4 cups Minute Rice

Brown and drain ground beef. Add Rice-a-Roni noodles and brown them. Pour in the whole can tomato juice, dehydrated onion, green pepper and spice mix from Rice-a-Roni box. Mix well. Bring to gentle boil. Turn down to simmer and add Minute Rice. Let simmer 35-40 minutes until rice is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

We sliced the other half of the green pepper and ate it for the side vegetable.
Makes lots of leftovers for us to eat for lunch and dinner for a few days.
