One Skillet Spanish Rice Dinner Recipe
Delicious and simple weeknight dinner! Ready in just 30 minutes! Try this yummy One Skillet Spanish Rice Dinner Recipe.
When A Few Shortcuts was born in 2009 this dinner idea was one of the first that I shared. Not only is this One-Skillet Spanish Rice Dinner quick and easy to make, but it is also affordable! It is still a classic dinner at my house that we all love!
How to Make One-Skillet Spanish Rice Dinner
This recipe is so simple. It reminds me of those boxed hamburger helper meals; Except ten thousand times better.
In a large skillet brown your ground beef, peppers, and onions all at the same time. You can make this meal even faster by pre-browning your ground beef. I tend to do this when I buy it in bulk and freeze it already browned. It makes dinners like this so much faster.
Once the beef is browned and the peppers and onions have cooked down a bit stir in the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. That is it!
What to serve with One-Skillet Spanish Rice Dinner
This is a family favorite because it is a self-contained meal. It has meat, rice, and veggies in one dish. I do like to serve it with a side salad, and some fresh bread or crescent rolls. This Homemade French Bread is amazing with this dish.

This dinner can easily be doubled! In fact, I recommend it! This Spanish Rice Dinner makes excellent leftovers to be reheated for lunch, or use it as filling for some yummy stuffed peppers later in the week.
