Description

Seasoned ground beef with rice, pinto beans and cheese. An easy dinner that pulls double duty. You can eat it as a dip or rolled up in burritos. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup converted rice
  • 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce (I used mild)
  • 1 (15.5 oz) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Brown for 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
  2. Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
  3. Sprinkle in the rice. Dump in the enchilada sauce and pinto beans. Don’t stir.
  4. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
  5. Stir in the cheese.
  6. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or lay out a flour tortilla and scoop 1/3 cup of the filling into the middle of the tortilla and roll it up like a burrito. A dollop of sour cream tastes good with these beef mixture.

Slow Cooker Instructions:

  1. Brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
  2. Transfer beef to the slow cooker and stir in the spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika).
  3. Add the broth, rice, enchilada sauce, and pinto beans. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the rice is tender.
  5. Stir in the cheese just before serving.
  6. Serve as a dip with chips or wrap it in tortillas for easy burritos!
