Here it is! The recipe I've been talking about for awhile. Mom and K, I think I might have sent you this already a long time ago, but I can't remember.
Wetback's Delight - makes about 6 generous servings
1 lb ground beef
1 tsp chile powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
2 cans water (one tomato paste, one tomato sauce)
2 cups cooked rice
Brown beef in large pot/skillet. Add everything but the rice and simmer until slightly thickened, about an hour. Mix in rice just before serving. Serve with lettuce, cheese, avocado, chips, tomatoes, sour cream... You know, usual taco salad toppings. We use the chips as spoons and eat it like a dip/nachos.
Notes & Variations - The only variation is that I cut the original recipe in half since we can't eat as much as it makes. If you were to double it, just use 1 Tbs sugar, rather than 4 teaspoons.
I love how easy this recipe is, I love how tasty it is, I love how cheap it is, and I love that it's kind of a family tradition.

I am glad to finally have the recipe down on paper. I have always been going to make it but tried to remember it. I still like the name too.
I've been looking for this recipe! It's been a family favorite for a long time, but we recent'y moved and I can't find my recipe box! I also apologize for the un-PC name whenever I serve it, but we haven't come up with a suitable substitute!

I got it from my mother in law I call it Sandy's delight. I am doubling it as its for a church supper tonight.
My wife gets like a five year old when I make it! I had lost the one we had but just bought a new recipes box
