Low Country Beef and Rice

This was okay...I think I'm burning out on having so many bell peppers though LOL Everyone ate it but no one was thrilled.

Low Country Beef and Rice

1/4 pound extra-lean ground beef

1 stalk celery, chopped fine

1 large onion, chopped

1 small green bell pepper, chopped

1 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning

1 cup oats

3 cups brown rice, cooked

3 medium tomatoes, chopped(1 1/2 cups)

2 11 1/2 ounce cans V-8 juice

In a skillet over medium high heat cook beef, celery, onion, bell pepper and Cajun seasoning in skillet about 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is brown and vegetables are tender. With paper towels, blot any excess grease. Stir in oats well. Then add remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to medium low. Keep uncovered and simmer about 5 minutes.
