Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (454g) lean ground beef 90% or leaner
  • 1/2 (65) small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 can (425g) black beans, drained
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 10oz (283g) can of diced tomatoes & green chillies WITH JUICES
  • 1 cup (88g) shredded cheddar cheese

Topping Suggestion

  • corn chips or Doritos
  • shredded lettuce
  • chopped tomatoes
  • diced onions

  • add'l shredded cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add raw ground beef and chopped onions to a large, oven-safe skillet.
  • Brown beef. Use a wooden spoon to break the beef into small pieces.
  • Once beef is cooked through and onions are translucent, drain off fat as needed. I used a lean ground beef and had no fat to drain.
  • Add taco seasoning, the can of tomatoes & chillies along with juices, and 1/4 cup of water to the pan.
  • Stir well to combine and simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add drained black bean and stir.
  • Top with cup of cheddar cheese, and place oven-safe skillet into the oven for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. **If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, pour mixture into baking dish**
  • Serve scoops of walking taco casserole with your favorite toppings!
