## "Mommy's Mess" : comfort food I grew up with

1.5 ish lb lean ground beef
1.5 biggish onions, rough chop
2 or 3 green peppers, chunked ~ 3/4" [not strips]
2 cans stewed tomatoes, Del Monte preferred [has additional spicing]
Uncle Ben's instant rice or equivalent, we always just wing it on amount

===

In a largish pot, brown and drain the meat, breaking it up in the process

Add peppers, onions, and tomato goop

Cook all that down slowly for a few hours; do NOT drain the liquid

Add rice, and stir periodically until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Judge in a wild-ass fashion how much rice is needed based on looking
at the liquid content at the time

Heartily serves a family of 3, with plenty of leftovers for later
