Description

Highly spiced beef and rice casserole. This easy recipe is great served with a salad or some crusty bread.

Ingredients
  • 1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground allspice
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups long-grain rice
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
  • ¼ cup pine nuts
  • 1 squeeze lemon juice, or to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Break ground beef into small pieces and add to the skillet. Season beef with garlic powder, ground cinnamon, and allspice; cook and stir until beef is completely browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.
  2. 2. Stir water, rice, and beef bouillon with the beef; bring to a simmer and cook until the rice is soft and fluffy, about 20 minutes.
  3. 3. Heat a small skillet over high heat; toast pine nuts in the skillet, swirling to keep pine nuts moving, until browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts and lemon juice over the beef and rice mixture.
