Beefy Spanish Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (28 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Cook rice according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
Stir in tomatoes, seasonings and rice.
Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350\u00b0 for 50-55 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake, uncovered, 5-10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
**Idea: Using instant brown rice in this recipe cuts down on the cooking time. Try substituting cheddar cheese with a more mild Monterey Jack Cheese.
