Quick and Easy 30 Minute Family Dinner

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cooked rice or quinoa
• Tortilla chips for serving
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, letting the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
4. While the mixture simmers, prepare the cooked rice or quinoa according to package instructions, if not already cooked.
5. Once the beef mixture is heated through, stir in the cooked rice or quinoa, combining well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, covering the mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
7. Serve the beef and rice mixture hot, topped with fresh cilantro and accompanied by tortilla chips for added crunch.
8. Enjoy your 30 minute family dinner with your loved ones!
