I love this recipe, you can adjust it to your tastes, make it hot or mild. It even tastes great as leftovers! It's a keeper! :cookie

Steps

1

In a large skillet, brown hamburger, drain.
2

Mix in seasonings with the ground beef, adjust to your tastes. Cumin isn't hot but it gives a nice almost smoky flavor. I used taco seasoning, but chili powder would be good too.
3

Add to the skillet, salsa, undrained beans, uncooked rice, water, and green peppers, and stir to combine.
4

Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes, or until rice is done. (If when stirring you notice most of the liquid is gone, and the rice isn't done, add some more water)
