Corn—a staple hear in Iowa—stars in this easy recipe that I received from a niece. It's a quick-to-fix meal after a busy day in the fields.—Evelyn Massner, Oakville, Iowa
1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn or mixed vegetables
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups uncooked instant rice
Directions
In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add the tomatoes, corn, water and seasonings; mix well. bring to a boil; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in rice; cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes or until rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.
Corny Spanish Rice can be served by itself as a hearty meal. But for something different, spoon some of it onto warmed flour tortillas, sprinkle with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and roll up. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
