Instructions:

1. 1. Sauté Aromatics:
      • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
      • Add 1 cup of diced onion, 1 cup of diced green bell pepper, and 1 tablespoon of minced fresh garlic to the skillet.
      • Sauté the vegetables until they are softened and fragrant, which should take about 5 minutes.
   2. Brown Ground Beef:
      • Once the aromatics are sautéed, add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet.
      • Break up the ground beef with a spatula or wooden spoon and cook it until it is browned and no longer pink, stirring occasionally.

1. Season and Add Rice:
   • Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard, 2 1/2 teaspoons of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper over the ground beef mixture.
   • Stir in 1/2 cup of uncooked long grain white rice until it is evenly combined with the other ingredients.
2. Incorporate Tomato Paste and Tomatoes:
   • Add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 1 can (14.5 ounces) of diced tomatoes with their juices to the skillet.
   • Stir well to combine, ensuring that the tomato paste is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

     1. 1. Add Liquid and Simmer:
           • Pour 1 cup of water and 1 1/2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce into the skillet, stirring to incorporate all the ingredients.
           • Bring the mixture to a simmer.

     1. Simmer:
        • Once the mixture is simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
        • Let the mixture simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
     2. Serve and Enjoy:
        • Once the rice is cooked and the mixture has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat.
        • If desired, sprinkle grated cheddar or Monterey jack cheese over the top of the Texas hash.
        • Serve the One-Pot Texas Hash hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions if desired.
        • Pair it with a side of warm tortillas, cornbread, or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
