Description

A delicious and easy one-pot beef and rice dish perfect for weeknight dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes with chilies, black beans, corn, taco seasoning, and beef broth. Mix everything to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover the pot again and let sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot.
