BEAN AND BEEF SKILLET



Bean and Beef Skillet image

This is a mouthwatering mix of ground beef, baked beans and barbecue sauce is a mainstay for us. Often, I'll brown the meat with the barbecue sauce and freeze it in a resealable bag. Later, I thaw it, add the beans, cook and serve.-Rose Purrington, Windom, Minnesota

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound ground beef
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups tomato sauce, homemade or store-bought
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1 cup self-rising cornmeal mix
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet or Dutch oven set over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fat from the meat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, pinto beans, tomato sauce, and tomato and remove the pan from the heat. Top with the cheese.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, egg, and buttermilk. Pour the mixture on top of the meat mixture.
  • Bake until the cornbread topping is lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly cooked and that there is enough space for them to brown properly.
  • Brown the beef and sausage in batches: This will help to prevent the meat from overcrowding the skillet and steaming instead of browning.
  • Do not drain the fat: The fat from the beef and sausage will add flavor to the dish. Simply use a paper towel to blot any excess fat from the meat before adding the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of beans: This will add different flavors and textures to the dish. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and navy beans.
  • Add some vegetables: Vegetables will add nutrients and flavor to the dish. Some good options include onions, peppers, carrots, and celery.
  • Season the dish to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. Common seasonings used in this dish include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

This Southern Ground Beef and Bean Skillet is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of ground beef, beans, vegetables, and spices, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
