Recently I started a series of posts on Bulking Up. My son, now in college has been asking for protein and carb recipes. The other day I put together this very simple Creole Hamburger and Rice.
When I heard my son say that it didn’t matter if his food had any flavor, he just needed the protein and carbs for his exercise goals, I cringed. The only way to convince him that it doesn’t have to take a lot of effort was to cook something and prove it.
One of the “meals” he has cooked himself a few times is crumbled hamburger with plain rice. I mean come on kiddo! Blah!
So I took some hamburger, added some seasoning and tomatoes and came up with this Creole Hamburger and Rice. Guess what? He loved it! It is also a simple and affordable recipe he will be able to enjoy when he continues his college education away from home.
