2 lb. lean ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. chopped sweet green pepper
1 c. short grain rice
Dry mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste

Saute ground meat in large heavy sauce pan until browned well. Add half of the chopped ingredients and seasonings. Continue to cook over low heat for about 1 hour, keeping moist by adding small amounts of water as needed. In the meantime, cook rice in two cups water. After meat mixture has simmered one hour, add remaining chopped ingredients and continue to cook about 45 minutes, adding water as needed. When ready to serve, combine rice with meat mixture and serve at once.
