After watching Annessa’s cooking demonstration and listening to her advice, I was inspired to create my own “busy mom” recipe. This one for Ground Beef Chili & Rice Skillet comes together in just 15 minutes and only requires 5 ingredients, many of which you can purchase ahead of time to have on-hand for when you need a quick and nutritious meal. This meal also freezes really well, so it’s definitely a recipe that you can save for future use when you’re short on time or just don’t feel like cooking– just defrost and reheat! I hope you enjoy it as much as our family does! 

• 16 oz O Organics 85% Lean, Grass Fed, Ground Beef
• 1 can (14.5 oz) O Organics Diced Tomatoes with basil, garlic & oregano in tomato juice
• 1 can (15.5 oz) O Organics Chili Beans in sauce
• 2 cups (dry) O Organics Long Grain Thai Jasmine Rice
• 2 cups O Organics Petite Broccoli Florets

Directions:

Follow microwave instructions to cook rice. Tip: Add a little extra water. (My rice was a little dry when it finished cooking, but maybe it was because I cooked 2 servings at once?)

Meanwhile, in a large skillet on the stove top, cook the ground beef while breaking it up with a wooden spoon.

When the beef is finished cooking, pour in the diced tomatoes and chili beans. Combine with the meat.

Then, add the frozen broccoli florets.

Allow mixture to simmer on medium heat until broccoli is defrosted and warm. Feel free to use this time to clean up your kitchen or scroll through Instagram.

Remove skillet from oven and serve with rice.

And, just like that, dinner is done!
