Nana’s Texas Hash
1 tablespoon butter


¾ pound lean ground beef


½ medium onion, chopped


½ large green bell pepper, chopped


1 can (15-oz) diced tomatoes in juice


½ can (6-ounce) tomato paste


1 6-oz can water (3/4-cup)


1 can (8-ounces) tomato sauce


1 8-oz can water (1-cup)


1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar


1-2 tablespoons chili powder


1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


2 tablespoons ketchup


¼ teaspoon salt, more or less to taste


¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, more or less to taste


¾ cup uncooked regular rice


¾ cup uncooked cheese


¾ cup uncooked garlic bread, cornbread, crusty artisan bread



Melt butter in large skillet with a lid (or Dutch oven), add ground beef and chopped onion; scramble fry until beef is cooked through. Drain excess fat.



Add remaining ingredients, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to stand 5-10 minutes. Serve topped with cheese and garlic bread or tortilla chips to the side.
