Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 14.5 ounces (1 can) diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (optional, for garnish) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a large skillet or deep sauté pan, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften and become fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, rice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fluff the mixture with a fork and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the Sierra Beef Rice Supper hot. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh cilantro for garnish. Enjoy!
