Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 Tbsp | canola oil |
1 lb | extra lean ground beef (may substitute with bison) |
1 | medium yellow onion, chopped (about ½ cup) |
2 cups | water |
2 tsp | Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Beef Base |
1 tsp | Better Than Bouillon® Chili Base |
1 can | (14-ounce) Mexican seasoned diced tomatoes, undrained |
1 can | (14.5-ounce) Mexican seasoned corn, drained |
1 cup | uncooked Kasha (buckwheat kernels) |
1½ cups | shredded Mexican-style cheese |
2 Tbsp | chopped fresh cilantro leaves |
Directions
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion, cook and stir until beef crumbles are done, about 10 minutes.
Stir in water, Beef and Chili Bases, tomatoes, corn and kasha. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover and simmer until done, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle cheese over kasha and beef. Cover until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro.
Grains, like pasta, continue to absorb moisture after cooking. Additional water and Beef Base may be added if desired.
