Ingredients
- 175g Mince
- 100g Rice
- 2/3 tin Kidney beans
- Half a Tinned tomato
- 1 Onion
- 40g Mushrooms
- 25g cheese

Method
- Roughly chop one onion and 40g mushrooms.
- In a pan, add a small amount of oil, 175g mince, the onion, and the mushrooms.
- Fry this on low until the mince has browned and the onions are soft. This is usually after 7-10 minutes.
- Whilst this is cooking, add a pan of water onto boil for the rice. Once it is boiling, add 100g rice and reduce the heat to medium/low for a simmer instead of a boil. Stir occasionally.
- Once the mince is browned, add half a tin of chopped tomatoes, 2/3 tin of drained kidney beans, stir well.
- Also add seasonings into the sauce. Such as salt, black pepper, a heaped teaspoon of garlic and chilli mix, and a flat teaspoon of paprika.
- Simmer this on a medium/low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Whilst this is cooking, grate 25g cheese.
- The rice should now have soaked up all the water and be fluffy. Remove from the heat and mix well.
- Once the sauce has thickened and is piping hot, plate up with your rice and sprinkle the cheese on top. Eat and enjoy!
