Spicy Beef and Pepper Skillet with Mexican Rice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook the lean ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced tomatoes with chiles, beef broth, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir in the instant brown rice and sliced peppers. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Let stand, covered, until the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
