TExas Beef Skillet
1 lb of ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onion (i left it out bc thomas hates onion and it was still good but it would probably be better with onion)
1 can of rotel mild
1 can of kidney beans
1/2 cup of rice
1.5 teaspoons of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup of shredded cheese
1 box of jiffy corn bread mix
Brown meat, drain fat, then add beans and rotel with juice, add uncooked rice, and seasonings and onion. Bring to boil then reduce and simmer for 20 minutes.
Mix up Jiffy mix.
Pour meat mix in a square casserole dish then pour jiffy dough over it, and cover with cheese. I baked it for about 15 minutes or until bread it down. It was delicious definitely a boy lover!
