While the pork is cooking, cook the rice according to the directions on the package.

Notes

-Ground turkey, lamb, chicken, beef will also work great for this recipe! The pork has a good balance of fat content that adds some great flavor but most ground meats are just fine.

-Swap the ground meat for small cubed pork, chicken, steak, even shrimp for this recipe.

-You can always drain excess fat that has been cooked off of your meat.
