Spicy Harvest Bounty Rice

I was looking through some of my old posts and came across a favorite recipe for Harvest Bounty Rice that I had forgotten about. It’s a super easy weeknight option that uses very common ingredients but is still tasty.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef, pork or venison
• one medium onion (chopped)
• one green pepper (chopped)
• one hot pepper (chopped; optional)
• 4 cups tomatoes (you can use canned, I used a mix of tomatoes from my garden)
• 4 cups cabbage (shredded)
• 3 cups cooked rice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• Sriracha to taste
• cheese (optional)

Directions:

1. Brown the ground meat along with the onion and peppers.
2. Add tomatoes, cabbage, rice, seasonings. Simmer 10-15 minutes.
3. Sprinkle cheese on top.

The Verdict:

I loved being able to use up some of the random cherry tomatoes from my garden. The whole dish went together super fast and was delicious. One note, I used the Gourmet Garden oregano, garlic, and basil pastes since I’m not getting fresh herbs from the garden anymore. I love the convenience!
