How to Make Beef And Rice Skillet

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice (or brown rice for a South Beach friendly option), 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed beef broth, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper (optional). For extra spice, add 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies with stewed tomatoes.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Fluff with a fork before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley (optional).
