How to Make Texas Beef Skillet
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the meat is browned and the vegetables are softened (about 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes, undrained kidney beans, green chilies (or jalapeños), uncooked rice, bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, salt, and 1/2 cup of water.
- Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
- If using, stir in frozen corn during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
- Remove from heat and top with shredded cheese.
- Cover the skillet and let it sit for 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Sprinkle crushed corn chips over the top before serving. Enjoy!
