Directions
|
1. Brown ground beef and onion in large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add remaining ingredients to skillet and mix well. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for about 25 minutes or until rice is done, stirring occasionally.
3. You will need to watch to make sure there is enough liquid for the rice to fully cook. Add more liquid if necessary; either water or chicken broth.

Story

The only mistake I've made with this recipe is I keep skimping on the cabbage. Be sure to add a GOOD FULL CUP of cabbage so it doesn't disappear in the cooking.
A little dash of Worchestershire sauce is optional but really seems to perk up the flavors nicely. Don't be afraid to add whatever you've got... that's why it's called "Raid the Pantry". Enjoy!
