Rice Goulash - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
1 medium-large chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1 cup red wine
16 ounces your favorite red pasta sauce
1 1/2 - 2 cups uncooked rice (I think 1 1/2 is best)
2 cups beef broth (canned is best but bouillon will work)
5 -10 dashes of red Tabasco sauce (this is very optional and can be adjusted to taste)

Preparation

Brown the ground beef in a coverable coverable pot or pan.
Add onion and garlic and cook down until onion is translucent.
Add wine and simmer down until evaporated.
Add all the other ingredients (rice, pasta sauce, and broth), cover and simmer/covered for about 25 minutes or until rice is cooked. More broth can be added if necessary.
If halving recipe--I suggest 3/4 cup of wine, 1 full cup of rice and a generous 1 cup of broth.
