Today for Ground Beef Thursday I have a really quick and easy skillet rice dinner for you.
And I am beginning to sense a theme with Ground Beef Thursdays. Not only have most of them been inexpensive recipes to make, but they have all been pretty quick and easy to make, which makes them even better.

I’m totally making this! I have most of the ingredients already!
Made this last night. Good stuff! A nice way to shake up my traditional pot of chili. My son liked it because there weren’t any chunks of tomatoes. Hubby liked it because it made plenty of leftovers for his lunch. I liked it because it was easy. Thanks Lynn!
I am glad you enjoyed it!
