QUICK AND EASY MINCED BEEF STEW


Whenever I am hungry, I like to whip up something that is quick and easy. That's where this minced beef stew comes from. Luscious, thick, filled with layer after layer of flavor and texture. I mostly cook minced beef for eating with spaghetti or pasta but today I wanted to have it with rice. Whether it be plain rice, pilau or fried rice, you will love this recipe. Make the minced beef spicy with some paprika, cayenne or chili pepper.
