Recipe: Meat, Rice and Peas

Sometimes I need a meal that is easy to make, easy to eat, and looks good to boot.  Here's one I learned from my Mother which I've Gussied up a bit.  Add hot Garlic Bread, a seasonal Salad and fresh fruit  to turn this into a complete meal.

Ingredients

3 tbsp. Olive Oil
1/4 cup chopped Onions
1/4 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1 lb. Ground Beef
1 cup White Rice (cooked)
4 oz. English Peas
Garlic Salt seasoning
Lemon Pepper seasoning

1. In a large pan cook chopped onions and bell peppers in olive oil until onion is translucent.
2. Add ground beef and cook until ground beef is thoroughly browned. 
3. Add cooked rice and English peas.  Mix ingredients thoroughly.
4. Season with Garlic Salt and Lemon Pepper to taste.  Mix ingredients thoroughly while pan is on low heat for five minutes.

NOTES

• If you like, use ground lamb instead of ground beef - if lamb is leaner than the beef you usually use increase amount of olive oil for browning.
• Crushed garlic can be used in lieu of garlic salt.

Makes 4 servings.
