Flavorful and Easy Ground Beef Skillet: A One-Pan Dinner Wonder
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 medium bell peppers, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned. If there’s any excess fat, go ahead and drain it out.
2. Next, stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers. Sauté these veggies for 4-5 minutes, until they’re softened and fragrant.
3. Now, it’s time to add the flavor! Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with their juices, and season the skillet with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Give it all a good stir and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. As the final touch, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the Ground Beef Skillet. Cover the pan and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes, until it’s hot, bubbly, and irresistible.
5. Your delectable Ground Beef Skillet is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot, either as a main dish or with your favorite sides, such as rice, tortillas, or crusty bread.
