Six Star Hearty Mex Meal

Made with common kitchen ingredients, this is hamburger helper on steroids! Even with the beans, this is a huge hit with kids. If you don't have velveeta on hand, feel free to substitute shredded cheese or a jar of nacho cheese.

Steps

Brown ground beef and drain.

Or if you are using chicken , cut it into dice-sized pieces and cook in a skillet over the stove top.

For cooking chicken , sprinkle a little taco seasoning over the top for a great color and flavor.

Return meat to a large , deep skillet.

Add hot water , 1 cup milk , rice , taco seasoning , cumin , and cayenne pepper.

Stir and heat on high to boiling.

Once the mixture boils , reduce heat to medium-low and cover.

Let cook for 20 minutes , stirring every 3-5 minutes.

Meanwhile , melt velveeta in a microwave-safe dish according to box directions.

Add cup milk and stir well.

Skip this step if you just plan on using store-bought nacho cheese or shredded cheese.

When skillet preparation is done , add black beans and corn.

Cook on low for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve cheese and crushed chips over the skillet meal.

Enjoy !.
