Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  • Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add the rice, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  • Stir in the frozen corn and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the corn is heated through.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover the skillet again and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot.
