Beans and Rice.....sort of


This is probably one of the favorites of my family. It's hard for me to write a recipe since I don't hardly ever follow one. This one has just evolved over time. I'll give it my best shot.

1 chopped onion
6-8 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lb. grd. beef, grass fed (we use ground venison)
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups cooked black beans
2 cups chopped tomatoes (I have my own canned)
sea salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon cumin (I use more because I love it!)
salsa, to taste (I make my own but fresh store bought is good)

Saute onion until tender. Add garlic and stir quickly for a few minutes. Add ground beef. Stir until cooked. Add the rest of the ingredients. Sometimes if I have enough salsa I add it to the mixture. Otherwise, add it to taste on your plate. You can also add chopped jalapenos if you want more spice.

Hope this recipe will make your family as happy as it makes mine. Enjoy!
