Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 large, diced white onion
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain excess grease and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant. Remove from heat.
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.
In the crock pot, combine the cooked ground beef, sautéed vegetables, diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, uncooked rice, water, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to mix all ingredients.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 4-5 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
Serve the Texas Hash warm. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped parsley for garnish.
