For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add an additional can of kidney beans or a can of black beans. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat. For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of water when cooking the rice. This dish is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Nov 17, 2024I made this in my slow cooker, and it turned out great! I just browned the ground beef first and then added everything to the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 4 hours.
