When I am making my meal plan for the upcoming week…and I know I am super busy at work and after school activities on a particular day…I usually add a SUPER QUICK meal to my dinner. This is one of my most EASIEST AND QUICKEST MEAL EVER!! I USUALLY like to use GROUND PORK instead of ground beef…but I wanted to mix it up a little for the kids!!! I also bought ground beef for the week to make hamburger on Monday. When I meal plan…I usually only buy 3 PROTEIN items..and try to work around that. Sometimes…I only buy 2 protein and I will make 6 meals out of those 2 protein items.
Today, my son had a flag football game and my daughter was cheering for another game at school…and my oldest had to stay after until 5:30 pm…then she went to tutor…so I needed to make something that was super easy…without having to pull out my crockpot.
This ground beef rice bowl..is so flavorful and if you are on a budget..it really can STRETCH your DOLLAR!!! You can make it a little more salty…I didn’t make it as salty because my daughter doesn’t eat rice right now…she only eats it with cucumber.
