Cheeseburger Rice

This is a recipe I got from a college roomate, Michelle Sorensen. It's sounds funny, but it's really simple and I think it tastes really good. I'm making it for dinner right now and I thought of Sarah and how picky Aaron is. (Do you remember Michelle making this Sarah?) I thought maybe Aaron would like this.

Cheeseburger Rice
1 lb. beef
1 3/4 c. water
2/3 c. ketchup
1 tbsp mustard
2 c. minute rice
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Brown beef in large skillet on med-high heat. Drain.

Add water, ketchup and mustard. Bring to boil.

Stir in uncooked rice. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes.

As a side note, I use turkey burger now instead of hamburger on all my dishes. Turkey burger is half the price and it's a much healthier option. I think it tastes just the same with the turkey burger as it does with hamburger. Mark just barely realized like a week ago that I don't buy hamburger anymore, and that is because he went grocery shopping with me, and he's never, ever complained.

It is so funny. Last night Aaron made dinner and he made sloppy joes. Well all we had was tukey burger. He was like we have no meat hun. I said yes that is what I have been buying it is cheaper and better for you. Your the one that wants to lose weight with me. So he used it and was like yeh is does taste good. I told him well that is what I have been using for some time and he did not even know.
