delish!

I’m house sitting at Robert’s and, amazingly, this time they actually have food.  I decided to get a little creative because lean pockets just weren’t hitting the spot tonight.  They had some leftover ham n beans in the fridge and some rice in a separate container.  The beans were good by themselves, but I was feeling a little gutsy… needed to do something more.  Fried rice would have been good, but I’m not going to the store for anything.  I browsed the freezer and found frozen hamburger and frozen vegetables galore.  Why not mix all of this shit together?  Done.

 I cooked the hamburger in the skillet, added the frozen veges, still frozen, and then topped them off with the beans.  I let them simmer for a bit and then finally added the rice and cooked for an additional ten minutes.

Just think of it as a shepherds pie subbing rice instead of potatoes and no crust.  Pretty damn good actually.

Bonus! Plenty left over for tomorrow.

    Sounds fab, minus the meat of course. I’m a great fan of leftover concoctions: “student food” as we call it over here. I always throw leftover veggies into some kind of pasta dish, always great. Especially broccoli. Yum :-)

    We call this goolash. We use elbow macaroni, not rice and I’ve never tried it with a medley of vegetables, but I bet it was good.
