Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- ¾ tsp cumin
- ¾ tsp oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 2 cups salsa
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 green pepper chopped
- ¾ cup uncooked white rice I used long grain white rice.
- 1 ½ cups low sodium beef broth
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 2.5-3 ounces
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- While the meat is browning, wash and dice the green pepper and grate the cheese.
- Drain the fat from the skillet and turn down to medium heat. Add the cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for a few seconds until fragrant. Add the salsa, corn, diced peppers, rice, and broth.
- Cover and simmer over medium or low heat for about 25-30 minutes or till rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Add water if the mixture looks too dry. Turn off the heat.
- Sprinkle cheese over the top and replace the lid. Let sit for about 2 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Notes
- You can use 1/2 cup of brown rice in place of the white rice. Increase the cook time to 30-35 minutes.
- I have use chicken broth and even water in place of the beef broth and it still turns out amazing!
