1 lb. ground beef
1 lg. onion, chopped
2 tbsp. shortening or oil
1 c. diced carrots
1 c. seedless raisins
1 c. rice
Salt & pepper to taste

Brown ground beef and onion until brown. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add carrots and raisins. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Pour off excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the pan. Sprinkle rice evenly over entire mixture, then add enough warm water to cover the rice. Simmer gently, approximately 45 minutes, or until water has been absorbed by the rice. Turn the stir mixture from time to time during the simmering time. Serves 6.
