Mexican Skillet with Ground Beef (No Rice, 30-Minute Meal)
Made in one pot in under 30 minutes, this Mexican skillet recipe is packed with ground beef, fresh veggies, and hearty pantry staples, making it perfect for a quick and satisfying meal any night of the week!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small white or yellow onion diced
- 2 large bell peppers diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 15 ounce can sweet corn drained
- 1 15 ounce can kidney beans drained, rinsed
- 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Set your oven’s broiler to high and let it preheat. Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains, about 10 minutes.
- Stir the taco seasoning into the onion, peppers, and ground beef mixture.
- Reduce the heat to low, and add the kidney beans and canned corn. Stir until well combined.
- Top the skillet with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the Mexican skillet in the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it because this will only take a couple of minutes!
- Once the cheese is melted, remove it from the oven and add toppings such as green onions, fresh parsley and cilantro, sour cream, or guacamole. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
- To fit all the ingredients in one pan, you'll need an oven-safe, extra-large skillet or shallow casserole dish. I like to use this Lodge 3.6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Oval Casserole Dish.
- Drain the fat after cooking the beef. If you're using lean ground beef, this might not be necessary. It's good to double-check, though, before proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
