Frijole Joe’s Southwest Skillet
Frijole Joe is a good friend of mine. Whether its drinking cervezas and watching the hot babes on Telemundo, or sitting down with his enormous family, we always seem to have a good time. Joe is passionate about cooking, and so whenever he suggests I try something new he’s come up with, I rarely hesitate. This offering is really great.
MFO 3 Crack open some Patron and kick back, this is one’s easy!
- Ingredients: 1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 14 oz. can of beef broth
1 10oz. can of diced green chilies and tomatoes, undrained
1 green pepper, diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
2 cups uncooked, instant rice
1 1/2 cups of finely grated cheddar and pepper jack cheese (use more or less of either, depending on your preference)
- Cooking Instructions: Heat up your broiler. Brown the beef in a heavy (cast iron) skillet. Stir in the broth and tomato/chilies. Bring this up to a boil. Add the diced peppers and rice, simmer on low heat until rice is tender. (Hint: if you cover the skillet, the heat will make cooking this a little faster.) After 5 minutes, or so, uncover. Add the cheese and place skillet under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
- Options:: This will yield about six, 1 1/3 cup servings., Try sliced jalapenos instead of the yellow peppers for a really spicy bite. Or, if you're feeling really manly, habaneros will put the fire in your belly!
