Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
• 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the diced red and green bell peppers. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.

Step 4

Add the black beans, frozen corn, and the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid). Stir to combine.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to coat the ingredients with the spices.

Step 6

Stir in the uncooked rice and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir once or twice during cooking to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
