Quick Faux Mexican Dish

So, Sat night I really didn't feel like cooking a big meal.

We had just gotten home from seeing Watchmen AND going to Sam's Club to stock up on meat goods and frozen veggies. After dealing with breaking all that meat down into meal sized portions, I wasn't looking forward to cooking.


I took a package of the ground chuck we'd just gotten and made something with it.

Approx 1lb ground chuck (or whatever burger you prefer), browned and drained
1 can chili beans
1/2 jar of salsa (whatever strength you prefer, I used mild)
2 servings cooked rice (I used jasmine)
Approx 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
sea salt, garlic powder and pepper to taste

Shredded cheese of your choice (I used mozzarella)

Cook your rice and distribute between 2 bowls.

In sauce pan, combine browned meat, salsa, chili beans, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder and dried tarragon. Heat through.

Dump over rice in bowls. Top liberally with shredded cheese and enjoy.



Took all of maybe 15 minutes and created enough leftovers for lunch today. Heh. Next time I think I'll eat it with tortilla chips.
