Recipe Instructions:
- Begin by heating a large skillet and cooking the ground beef and chopped onion until the onion is tender, and the meat is beautifully browned. 🍖🔥
- Drain off any excess fat from the skillet, ensuring your Safari Supper is lean and flavorful. 💪🍲
- Stir in the remaining ingredients: rice, water, chicken bouillon cubes, curry powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, raisins, peanut butter, and honey. Let the magic unfold! 🌈🥄
- If you choose the stovetop method, heat the mixture to boiling, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally. In approximately 35 minutes, the rice should be tender. Add a splash of water if needed for that perfect consistency. 🕰️🍚
- For the oven enthusiasts, transfer the mixture into an ungreased 2-quart casserole. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F, stirring occasionally. In about 50 to 60 minutes, your Safari Supper will be a masterpiece of flavor and texture. Don’t forget, a dash of water can be added if needed. 🌡️🍲
