- To make the meatballs, in a medium bowl, combine the grnd beef, 1/2 package taco seasoning mix, cilantro, bread crumbs, carrots, and 1/2 C. of the water. Mix to blend well. Roll into 24 balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Set aside.
- For the beans and rice, in a 4- or possibly 5-qt electric slow cooker, mix together the remaining 3 C. water with the remaining taco seasoning mix, olives, green chiles, garlic, bell pepper, and rice. Gently push the meatballs down into the rice mix.
- Cover and cook on the low heat setting 4 hrs, or possibly till the rice is just tender and the meatballs are cooked through.
- Gently stir in the beans. Cover and cook 30 min longer.
- NOTES : Here's a one-dish meal which's a surefire hit. Be sure to use extra-lean grnd beef in the meatballs so you do not end up with excess fat in this dish. Serve with small bowls of minced fresh cilantro, sliced scallions, green tomatillo salsa and lowfat sour cream to spoon on top.
