Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 14.5-ounce can, undrained diced tomatoes
• 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed kidney beans
• 1 cup (canned or frozen) corn kernels
• 1 cup, uncooked long-grain white rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup (optional, for garnish) shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked beef. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the undrained diced tomatoes, kidney beans, corn kernels, uncooked rice, and all the spices: chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Once the rice is tender and the dish reaches a thick, stew-like consistency, remove it from the heat.

Step 7

Serve hot, optionally garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
