Texas Beef Skillet Recipe

Here is the recipe for Texas Beef Skillet, which we made at the Coburns. I know that Julie and Dad both asked for it, so here it is! It's easy, yummy, and very flexible - put in leftover veggies, etc.

TEXAS BEEF SKILLET

1 pound ground beef

3/4 cup chopped onion

2-3 cloves garlic

1 16-oz can chopped tomatoes

1 16-oz can red kidney beans

1/2 cup quick-cooking rice

3 Tbs. chopped green pepper

1-1/2 tsp. chilli powder

3/4 c. shredded cheese

corn chips, to serve

Brown onion, garlic, and beef in a large skillet until cooked. Drain off fat, and stir in the undrained tomatoes, undrained beans, green pepper, uncooked rice, green pepper, chilli powder, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to the boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Top with cheese, cover and heat about 3 minutes until cheese melts. Serve with corn chips. Enjoy!! XO Elli
