1 lb. ground beef
3 1/2 c. canned tomatoes (1 lb. 12 oz. can)
1 c. chopped green pepper
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. uncooked rice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. basil & dash of pepper
1/2 lb. Velveeta cheese

Brown ground beef. Add rest of ingredients except cheese. Cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with 1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, sliced. Heat until melted.

NOTE: I like to use ground round but hamburger works ok. I salt the meat to taste before adding other ingredients. I use UNCLE BEN'S® converted rice (long grain par-boiled).
