Directions Lentils with Ground Beef and Rice
Directions
-
Place lentils in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 4 hours.
Drain lentils and put in a large pot with 5 cups water and bouillon cube, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Add rice and simmer until rice and lentils are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper, saute until onion is golden brown and tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef, cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes. Add paprika and cook for 1 more minute.
Add meat mixture to lentils and rice. Simmer over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
