Texas Beef Skillet is a one-pan ground beef dinner with tomatoes, kidney beans, quick-cooking rice, green pepper and chili powder, finished with cheddar and crunchy corn chips.
The rice cooks directly in the tomato-and-bean mixture, keeping the method compact. Brown the beef and onion first, then add the tomatoes, beans, rice, pepper, seasonings and water to the same skillet.
Cheddar is melted over the finished mixture, with corn chips added at the edge for the final crunchy element.
