Ingredients

butter-flavored cooking spray
1/2 lb lean ground beef

1 (15 ounce) can cut green beans, rinsed & drained
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray.
Brown beef and chopped onions over medium heat until cooked though; drain any fat.
To the browned meat and onions, add the cream of tomato soup, tomato sauce, and water.
Bring to a boil.
Add uncooked instant rice, green beans, parsley, and black pepper; stir well.
Cover and reduce heat to low.
Simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring once or twice.
