Spanish Rice (Slow cooker)

What you will need:
1 1/2 lbs Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
1 large can Crushed Tomatoes
1 cup Tomato sauce
1 Red Pepper diced
1 Green Pepper diced
1 Red Onion diced
1 cup Rice
2 1/2 teaspoons Chili Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 cup Water
2 teaspoons Worcheshire Sauce
2 cup frozen Green Beans (defrosted)
1 Bay leaf

This is so simple. It makes enough to feed 6 to 8 people. The best thing is that after having it for dinner you can freeze the remaining amount to use for stuffed peppers... Just cut the tops off the peppers and top with a small amount of tomato paste.

Brown meat. Drain off any oil from the meat and put all ingredients in Slow Cooker. Stir well. Cook on High for 3 hours. Serve and enjoy.

You can substitute any vegetable for the green beans. I like to add a vegetable to traditional spanish rice to increase the vegetable content. If you do not have a bay leaf you can omit it. If you do use the bay leaf make sure to remove it before serving.
