Quick Beef and Rice

This is one of the easiest, quickest kid-friendly recipe around. It's not particularly healthy, although if you use low-fat ground beef or turkey and have some vegetables on the side, liked cooked carrots, it's not too bad.

Brown the ground meat and drain if necessary. Add soup mix, rice, soup, and water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, till rice is done.

Options: You can leave out the cream of soup if you don't have it or just make a simple white sauce. If you don't have any onion soup mix, sauté an onion and add 2 tsp. beef bouillon instead.
