Notes
- Use white rice for this recipe, as brown rice will not cook through.
- If rice is not done, add ½ cup hot water and continue simmering.
- Can be made with chicken instead of beef.
- Rotel can be used in place of separate tomatoes and green chiles.
- Extra veggies can be added with the peppers (add ¼ cup extra broth if needed).
- Leftovers can be frozen for later use.
