Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 box Zatarain's Black Beans and Rice Mix
- 5 slices bacon chopped
- 1/2 white onion finely chopped
- 1 lb ground sirloin 90% lean
- 1 15 oz can corn drained
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
- sour cream and pickled jalapeños for serving
Instructions
- Heat skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and stir occasionally until bacon is crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Set cooked bacon aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the bacon grease in the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until the onion is starting to soften.
- Add the ground sirloin and cook until no longer pink, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Add the corn, Zatarain's Black Beans and Rice Mix and the water to the skillet with the cooked onion and ground sirloin.
- Bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat so the skillet contents are gently simmering. Put the lid on the skillet and cook for 25 minutes, or until rice is tender.
- While the rice mixture is cooking, turn the oven to the broil setting.
- When rice is cooked, remove the lid from the skillet and top the cowboy rice skillet with the shredded cheese.
- Put the skillet under the broiler for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
- Top the skillet with the cooked bacon, sour cream and pickled jalapeños and serve immediately.
