Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can no salt-added diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
1 (15 ounce) can low-sodium Great Northern beans
2 (32 ounce) cartons reduced-sodium beef broth
1 (12 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 (5 1/2 ounce) package Knorr® Rice Sides™ - Beef

Directions

1 In a large pot over medium high heat, cook ground beef and onions, breaking up larger ground beef pieces, until beef is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Drain off fat.
2 Stir in tomatoes, beans, and broth; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. When mixture begins to bubble, add vegetables and rice. Allow to come back to a simmer; reduce heat to medium for a gentle simmer.
3 Cook until rice is tender and vegetables are warmed through, about 8 minutes.
