Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a large skillet or pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  5. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  6. Top with shredded cheese and cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
