Mushroom Meat

Submitted by Nevarre

Ingredients

 * 1 lb ground beef
 * 1 small can mushrooms (fresh optional but saute them first)
 * 1 package Lipton/Knorr mushroom flavored rice
 * 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar jack is a good choice here.)
 * 1/2 onion, chopped (optional)
 * 1 tsp garlic salt
 * Pepper to taste
 * Soy sauce to taste

Meat, Starch, Cheese. Oh yeah.

I also like to add other spices like onion powder or fajita seasoning to taste.

Directions

 * 1) Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan pan with all spices.
 * 2) While cooking start to prepare the Lipton rice mix per instructions with the exception of turning off the heat and letting it stand to cool.
 * 3) When beef is no longer pink, drain grease and add mushrooms and onion (optional) and cook until the rice mix is done.
 * 4) Add rice mix to pan, mixing with the beef/mushroom/vegetable mix.
 * 5) Remove from heat and add 1 cup cheese (blending in if you want a creamy/sticky consistency.)
 * 6) EAT.

Makes enough for 2-3 hungry bachelors or 1 REALLY hungry bachelor.
