Ingredients (about 4 servings):

• 1 C. enriched long grain rice (uncooked)
• 1 Tbsp. canola oil
• 4 Tbsp. chopped yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 C. hot water
• about 1 or 1 1/2 C. cooked ground beef
• about 1 pinch ground cumin
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat a pot or pan (with tight fitting lid) to medium-high heat. Add oil.
2. Add onions and cook for about 1 minute. Add garlic and cook until garlic starts turning light brown.
3. Add uncooked rice and salt. Mix frequently so nothing burns. Continue cooking until rice starts turning light brown.
