1/2 lb ground beef or cut up chicken
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cups rice
1 T. beef bouillon
2 cans (8 oz.) tomato sauce
3 T. chili powder
3/4 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 can black beans - drained
3 cups water
4 oz. shredded cheddar
In a large skillet, brown ground beef and chopped onion. Add all other ingredients except for cheese. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover and reduce heat to med/low. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes untouched. Turn off heat and allow to sit for an additional 5 minutes. Stir and sprikle with cheddar cheese if you can have cheese. If not then try sprinkling with nutritional yeast flakes.
Yummy optional add-ins are a bit of lime juice, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Or serve it in tortillas with sour cream. I didn't have any of that stuff today.
What kind of shredded cheddar? If that is cheese then the recipe isn't dairy free.
ReplyDeleteIn the instructions I explain about the cheese:
ReplyDelete"Stir and sprinkle with cheddar cheese if you can have cheese. If not then try sprinkling with nutritional yeast flakes."
It is listed as dairy free because it is a garnish to the dish and not necessary to it - so you can easily leave it off.
Cooked or uncooked rice?
ReplyDelete2 cups uncooked rice.
ReplyDeleteI've added a green pepper (chopped) into the dish to add a little more veggie presence... I'm hoping this one is a hit with the family! I think it would be good garnished with avocado and cilantro.
