BBQ Pineapple Bowl

You'll Need The Following

• 2 cups of rice


• 2 pounds of ground beef


• 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning


• 2 tablespoons of bbq sauce


• 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar


• 2 teaspoons of brown sugar


• 2 tablespoons of lime juice


• 20oz can of pineapple chunks


• 14.5oz can of diced tomatoes


• 1 red onion, chopped


• 1 jalapeno, chopped

Cooking Instructions

1. Start with the rice. We use instant rice where it's a 1:1 ratio of water and rice, boil the water and take off the heat, add the rice and stir, then cover and let steam the rest of the way. But whatever rice you want to use and however you cook it is totally fine!


2. Next put the ground beef in a pan, break it up and cook it until it's browned.


3. While those are cooking drain the can of pineapple and tomato but reserve the liquid. Mix the liquid with the taco seasoning, bbq sauce, sugars, and lime juice until well incorporated.


4. Once the beef is browned don't drain it, just add the sauce and continue cooking on low heat for 10 minutes to let everything heat through.


5. Chop up the onion and jalapeno and add them to the canned pineapple and tomato to make the topping.


6. The last step is just to assemble; layer rice, meat, and the topping and drizzle sauce from the meat pan over top.

I really love this one, and sans the rice it's also a really good taco filling if we have tortillas left over from other meals and just need a good quick meal out of them ^{^}
