Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 14.5-ounce can, undrained diced tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed kidney beans
- 1 cup (canned or frozen) corn kernels
- 1 cup, uncooked long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (optional, for garnish) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) chopped cilantro
Instructions
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked beef. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes, kidney beans, corn kernels, uncooked rice, and all the spices: chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is tender and the dish reaches a thick, stew-like consistency, remove it from the heat.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
