It was finally cool enough tonight for me to attempt cooking! Well, until I had the fires burning for a while, then it got unbearable again. *Grumbles* Anyway, my dirty rice tastes different every time I make it because it's one of those dishes that uses what I have on hand.

Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sirloin, at least 90% lean. You can use family chuck but it will come out really greasy. Trust me on this. shopping list
- 1 small onion, diced shopping list
- 1 large tomato, diced or a bunch of cherry or plum tomatoes, also diced. shopping list
- I had one of those 5 oz packages of seasoned Spanish rice on hand but you can use about a cup and a half of any type. shopping list
- I'll admit, I went a little spice-crazy here. You don't have to do this, I'm just retarded. I think I put about 2 Tbspns of each: garlic and chili powder, cilantro, smokehouse maple seasoning, parsley, thyme, ground cumin and I tossed in 3 whole cardamom seeds. But like I said, you can use anything. shopping list
- Optional additions: Chopped bell pepper, diced jalapeño and/or beans. shopping list
How to make it
- Cook the rice as directed on the package in a separate pot.
- Meanwhile, in a deep sauce pan sauté the onions with the meat, add spices while it cooks. You won't need oil, the meat makes it's own moisture. That was great for me because I ran out of oil. [=/
- Add the chopped tomatoes and any extra ingredients to it and mix well. Sadly, you will have to babysit the meat while it cooks or it might burn. Be sure to use a wooden spoon for this, it works best. If you're using beans, be sure to rinse them first. I heard there was a trick to making them less gassy by soaking them in water overnight.
- When the rice is done and the meat is cooked through, drain the rice and add it right to the meat and onions. Mix well, giving it a few moments for the flavors to mix properly.
- Scoop into plates and serve.
- Cooking this made my apartment a thousand and twelve degrees but it was well worth it.
