Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 pound of ground beef, 1 chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup of corn, 1 cup of cooked rice, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the onions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Next, add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it up into smaller pieces. Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is browned and no longer pink.
- Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary. Return the skillet to the heat and add the can of diced tomatoes (with their juices), corn, cooked rice, and chili powder.
- Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure everything is heated through and the flavors meld together.
- After cooking, taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a bit more heat, you can add additional chili powder or hot sauce at this stage.
- Once everything is heated and well combined, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the One Dish Ground Beef hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your onions and mince your garlic the night before. This way, you can quickly throw everything together after a long day.
- Adjust the Heat: If you like it spicy, feel free to add more chili powder or even some diced jalapeños to the mix. For a milder flavor, consider using sweet bell peppers instead.
- Use Leftovers: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice or veggies. Feel free to toss in whatever you have on hand for added flavor and nutrition!
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t skip the garnish! Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can elevate the dish and add a pop of color.
- Make it a Meal: Serve with a side salad or some crusty bread to complete the meal and soak up all those delicious flavors.
- Storage Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave for a quick lunch or dinner.
