SOUTHWEST BEEF AND RICE SKILLET

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 1 red bell pepper diced
• 1 cup diced red onion 1 small or 1/2 large
• 15 ounce can pinto beans drained and rinsed

• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup tomato sauce or puree
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

INSTRUCTIONS

• Heat canola oil in a 3 quart or larger pan over medium heat. Add beef and break it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add red bell pepper, onion, cayenne, and salt. Cook and stir for a few minutes until fragrant.
• Add rice, beef broth, and tomato puree. Stir to mix well. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
