• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 ¼ lb ground meatloaf blend (beef/pork)

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 1 (8.5-oz) pouch pre-cooked basmati rice

Steps

1. Preheat large stock pot on medium 2-3 minutes. Chop peppers. Place oil in pan, then add peppers, onions, and chili powder; cook 2-3 minutes or until onions are tender.
2. Add meat; cook and stir 5-6 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until no pink remains.

• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), divided
• 2 sweet, crisp apples
• 1 (9-oz) tub apple crisp mix
