Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, minced
  • 2 large bell peppers, diced
  • 1 lb. 85% ground beef
  • 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons green chiles
  • 1 15-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup quick-cooking brown rice (quick-cooking white rice works too!)
  • 1.5 cups beef broth (any kind)
  • 1/2 cup Mexican shredded cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • Heat olive oil over medium/high heat in a large nonstick skillet*.
  • When olive oil is fragrant, add garlic, onion, and bell pepper. Saute for 3-5 minutes.
  • Then, move veggies to the side and add in ground beef. Saute ground beef for 7-9 minutes, or until fully cooked. Mix everything together in the pan.
  • Once the beef is fully cooked, add taco seasoning, tomato sauce, green chiles, and black beans and cook for a few minutes. Then, add in quick-cooking rice and broth. Bring to a boil over medium/high heat.
  • Once boiling, turn down to low and cover. Let simmer for around 20 minutes or until the rice has softened and absorbed the majority of the liquid.
  • Sprinkle cheese on top of skillet and either let melt naturally or pop it in the oven at 400ºF for a few minutes to fully melt cheese.
  • Serve beef skillet with chips!
