Ingredients
  

Meat and Vegetables
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Grains and Canned Goods
  • 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 cups beef broth
Spices and Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Equipment

  • Dutch oven

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  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.
