Method
In a Large pot combine stewed tomatoes, 2 cups of the water, & beef bouillon cubes; bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a bowl mix ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, and 1/2 to 1 whole package of taco seasoning mix (This is to your taste; I use 1/2 package.) Using a small Ice cream scoop, drop meatballs into boiling sauce. Reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 20-30 min, until meat is fully cooked. Add Rice, the remaining cup of water, the Beans, Garlic powder, Salt and Pepper. Simmer until rice is done.
Notes: For a sweet variation add one 15 oz. can pineapple chucks in syrup when you add the rice. Reduce the water by half.
