Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cups long-grain rice white
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 14 ounces black beans
- 28 ounces chicken broth
- 10 ounces diced tomatoes with chiles
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a large, deep walled skillet, cook onions and beef together over medium-high heat until beef is browned.
- Add rice and taco seasoning, and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly so the rice doesn't stick to the pan.
- Add chicken broth, beans, tomatoes with chiles, and tomato sauce. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, cover with lid, and reduce heat to low.
- Lightly simmer for 20 minutes, keeping the lid in place. Remove lid and fluff rice with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top with cheese, then cover again for another 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve.

Notes
- Store the rice dinner in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 to 6 days. Reheat in the microwave for a few minutes at a time or on the stove top at medium high heat until warmed through.
- To freeze, simply add the rice dinner to an air tight container for 4 to 6 months.
