Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 15 oz can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup tomato sauce or puree
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1–2 cups of cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add red bell pepper, onion, cayenne, and salt. Cook and stir for a few minutes until fragrant.
