Eek!!! Zach is now 5' 7 1/2" tall!!!!! Only an inch and a half to go till he catches up with me. So, by tomorrow, I'm guessing.
A basic, but tasty and economical meal you can make in the crockpot or stovetop:
Chuckwagon Beef
1 lb ground beef
1 16 oz can diced tomatoes
1 green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
cooked riced--1 1/2 cups or more (1/2 cup or more RAW if using crockpot)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp basil
dash pepper
Crockpot--Place all ingredients in crockpot; stir thoroughly. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. (Usually I end up starting these things late and have to do them on high for less time) If on stovetop, brown ground beef and onion. Don't drain. :) Meanwhile, cook rice. When beef is just about done, add pepper, tomatoes, and spices. When rice is done, add to mixture, stir, and let simmer for awhile, maybe 15 minutes or so, so flavors can meld, but you're not overcooking the pepper.

Now that sounds good...I will have to try that....when we have cooler weather maybe.
Sounds tasty! I'm going to try it. What do you usually serve with it? Do you eat it like a stew or use it as a chip dip or something?
I serve it in bowls, and it's good with bread and butter or chips (Frito's or tortilla chips).
