Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced bell pepper, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix in Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Cook and Melt Cheese

    Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover again until the cheese has melted.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
