I’ve always enjoyed cooking but now with Club Foody, this is really a full-time job 👩‍🍳! Although I like elaborate recipes such as Bouillabaisse à la Marseillaise, Singapore Noodles, Blanquette de Veau, Beef Wellington, and so on, I still want easy dishes cooked in one-pot!
 
On the website, there are over 100 one-pot 🥘 recipes and they just keep coming! I think of Italian Gnocchi Casserole, Creamy Tuscan Chicken, Cod in Puttanesca Sauce, Moules à la Provençale, Texas Cowboy Stew, Arroz con Gambas, Chicken Vesuvio, etc.
 
Another one that joins this tasty category is my Mexican Beef & Rice Skillet! With a beautiful combination of ingredients, this delicious recipe is so comforting 🥰! The other plus is it’s quick to prep and takes 30 minutes to cook, making it ideal for a weeknight meal!
 
This recipe is pretty straightforward! The veggies are sautéed before the ground beef hits the skillet. The seasonings are added followed by the rice 🍚, black beans and corn kernels. After pouring in the broth and hot sauce, the mixture is simmered for 15 minutes or until the rice had absorbed the liquid and is tender.
 
I named this Mexican Beef & Rice Skillet dish for a good reason… it has all Hispanic ingredients except one. The only ingredient that’s not a staple in Mexican cuisine is sharp Cheddar cheese 🧀. I never tried Oaxaca, Queso Blanco, Queso Panela or Asadero but I’m sure any of them would be fantastic in this skillet.
 
When it comes to hot sauce, it’s a matter of preference 💖. I like using either Cholula or Valentina. Besides these two, there’s also El Yucateco, Salsa Búfalo, and Tapatio. Although it’s not a Mexican commercial hot sauce, Franks can be another alternative.
 
After the rice is done and the cheese is blended, I sprinkle on some fresh chopped 🔪 cilantro before serving it with sour cream. This dish is good on its own but somehow, adding a few dollops of sour cream enhances the flavors so beautifully.
 
Cooking a meal doesn’t have to be complicated and that’s exactly what this Mexican Beef & Rice Skillet is all about! It’s a delicious, comforting and satisfying one-pot dish that is ideal to serve for a weeknight dinner or when time is in short supply. This is a great recipe to serve your family 👨‍👧‍👦…
