Beef and Black Bean Skillet

This one pan dinner is like Taco Tuesday without the taco! 

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 onion, diced

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

2-3 tbsps taco seasoning (store bought or homemade)

1 cup rice

1 cup canned diced tomatoes

1 - 19 oz can black beans, drained

1 1/2 cups water or beef broth

1 cup kernel corn

1 cup shredded (Jalapeño) Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese

1/4 cup diced green pepper

sour cream to garnish

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion and red bell pepper until there is no pink remaining in the beef. Then add the taco seasoning (you should really try the homemade one!), rice, diced tomatoes, black beans, water or broth and corn. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Top with cheese and cover 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Plate and top with sour cream and diced green pepper. This one is going on repeat!
