   OOOHHH Meamie!   
      
   For that, you have to read another RV simple dinner!   
      
   1lb ground beef   
   1 can black beans (can be anytype, I just like black beans)   
   1 can diced tomatoes (fire roasted tonight)   
   1 can V8 or other tomato juice you like (but NOT Clamato)   
   1 tsp black pepper   
   1 tsp medium chile powder   
   (I actually used a Cuban spice blend)   
      
   Cook all togther on low, breaking up the beef as you go along.  My beef   
   was frozen so nibbled it down as it low simmered until it was all mixed   
   in.   
      
   Ricemaker in use, doing Jasmine tonight.   
   2/3 c dry rice   
   1 1/3 cup water   
      
   Serve the mix on rice with a salad.
