I don't even know why you would need a " nice big salad " with this. Would

this not be good on its own as a filling dinner? Thanks,

It all sounds good to me...served with a nice big salad!

Layered Crockpot Dinner

Does this recipe look SBD friendly to you? I'm new at this it looks ok to me

but not really sure. I've worked hard on Phase 1 and don't want screw up

Phase 2 when I start next Monday but still have to feed the non-SBDers in the

home....

Layered Crockpot Dinner

1 lb lean ground beef

2 tablespoons imitation bacon bits

1 small onion, chopped

15 oz can tomato sauce

1/2 cup water

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2/3 cup brown rice

1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

Crumble ground beef evenly over bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle with bacon

bits, then onion. In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, water, chili powder,

salt, and black pepper; pour half over beef and onion layers. Sprinkle rice

evenly over top, then top with remaining tomato sauce mixture, then bell

pepper. Cover and cook on LOW about 5 hours or until rice is tender.

The spices are fine but watch your chili powder -- some contain

sugar and most have a good amount of salt. Brown rice is ok on P2

as are the meat and faux bacon bits. Onions are ok also. Make sure

the tomato sauce you get only has tomatoes in it; in other words, no

added sugar.

It would be filling...but I would probably eat a salad with it. Load up on

those veggies!!! :-)

There is really no vegetable serving in this meal. I would have a side veggie

or a salad.

Do you need to add any water to this for the rice? Or is the tomoato

sauce enought?

Celeste,

I didn't post this one but I can answer it -- nope. The fluids in the crock

pot will soften the rice. Now, if this is NOT the original form of the

recipe (i.e., if the original called for white rice and not brown rice) then

you may need to add more fluids. Since brown rice typically requires a 2:1

water:rice ratio, so 2/3 cup rice would need about 1 1/3-1 1/2 fluid. I

notice that this recipe has 1/2 cup of water and a 15oz can of tomato sauce,

plus there will be some fluid contributed by the other non-dry ingredients

as well. I'd give this a try as written and if the rice is too firm/dry,

I'd add another half cup of water.
