INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup Black Beans (canned, low sodium)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (no salt added)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (chopped)
1/4 cup Yellow Onion (chopped)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In an oven-safe skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper; sauté until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground beef to the pan, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Once the beef is mostly cooked, stir in the black beans and diced tomatoes. Allow the mixture to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
