Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ounce canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 14.5 ounce canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
• 2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (or olive oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the black beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, and beef broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Season the mixture with chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the mixture has thickened slightly and flavors have melded together, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover and let it sit for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.

Step 11

Serve the beef and bean skillet supper hot, either on its own or with a side of crusty bread or rice. Enjoy!
