Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup diced onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 ounce) can corn
1 beef bouillon cube
1 cup water
1 cup Minute Rice (uncooked)

Steps:

  • Brown beef and drain.
  • To the beef, add onion, green pepper, seasonings, tomatoes, corn, and bullion with water.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Stir in rice and remove from heat.
  • Cover.
  • Let stand 5 mintues, fluff with fork.

Tips:

  • Use good quality beef for the best flavor. Look for chuck roast or stew meat that is well-marbled.
  • Brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the meat. This will help develop a nice brown crust on the beef and add flavor to the chili.
  • Don't be afraid to add some heat to your chili! This recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of chili powder, but you can add more or less to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, oregano, or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the chili simmer for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

Fiesta Chili Beef and Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. The beef is tender and flavorful, the sauce is rich and spicy, and the rice is the perfect accompaniment. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
