How to Make Beef Rice Peas And Carrots One Dish Meal

  1. Dice 1 medium onion.
  2. In a medium-sized pot or Dutch oven, brown 1 pound of lean ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Add the diced onion and cook until the beef is browned and the onion is softened (about 5-7 minutes). If using fatty beef, drain off any excess grease before proceeding.
  3. Add 1 cup of frozen peas, 1 cup of frozen carrots, and 2 1/2 cups of water (or broth for extra flavor) to the pot.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of minute rice. If using regular long-grain rice, use 2 cups of water or broth instead of 2 1/2 cups and simmer for an additional 7 minutes (total simmer time approximately 12 minutes).
  6. Simmer for 5-7 minutes (or 12-14 minutes for regular rice), or until the rice and vegetables are tender and the liquid is absorbed. If needed, add an additional 1/2 cup of water during simmering to prevent dryness.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste just before serving.
