Beef Taco Rice
Back to Blog List

I am again using my new toy.  This time I am making a beef dish.  This is from the WW Instant Pot cookbook.  It has 8 WW freestyle points.  It serves 4.  We had it for dinner and Jim had a serving the next day at lunch. 

Ingredients:

1# lean ground beef

1 onion chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

1 C long-grain white rice

1 packet taco seasoning mix

1/2 C water

2 C beef stock (I used my vegetable broth)

3/4 C corn

Salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 C salsa

1 ? cilantro, chopped (I did not use.  Not fond of cilantro)

Directions:

  1. Press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot.  
  2. Add the ground beef, onions, and bell pepper.  Cook for 3 minutes or until the beef is browned.  
  3. Stir in the rice and mix together.  Season with taco seasoning.
  4. Pour in water and beef stock.  Mix in the corn until well combined.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  
  5. Close the lid and press the manual button.   Cook on high for 15 minutes.  
  6. Do natural pressure release to open the lid.  
  7. top the taco rice with salsa and cilantro.  
I wasn't wild about this dish, but it was OK.
