Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 85% ground beef
  • 1 large sweet onion chopped small
  • 8 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms chopped small
  • 3 jalopeno peppers diced more or less to taste, diced
  • 1 sweet bell pepper chopped
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 can black beans not drained
  • juice of one lime
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat your skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add beef and onion to the warm skillet. Break up the meat with a spatula or wooden spoon.
    1 lb 85% ground beef, 1 large sweet onion
  • Once the beef is nearly all brown add the mushrooms to the skillet with the spices a pinch of salt. Combine everything. The mushrooms will give off a lot of moisture as they reduce.
    8 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms
  • Add the jalopeno and bell pepper. Continue to cook for a few minutes then add the can of beans liquid and all. Allow the flavors to merge and simmer about 10 minutes.
    3 jalopeno peppers diced, 1 sweet bell pepper, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 can black beans not drained, 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • Squirt in the juice of one lime and a pinch or two more salt to taste.
    salt to taste, juice of one lime

Notes

  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet this would work in any pot large enough to hold the ingredients. I'm just obsessed with my damn skillet now that I actually learned how to take care of it. 
  • I like to use mushrooms in ground beef dishes as it bulks up the serving size, adds a nice flavor, and it's a great way to get more veggies into the kids.
  • If you like spicy, leave in the jalopeno core and seeds, if not remove them or skip altogether! 
  • I used a yellow bell pepper. Any pepper would work. 
  • Serve this straight up for chili or have fun with it like we did. Crunchy taco shells, some cheese and a dab of salsa made a great taco!
