One POT NACHO BEEF Skillet

One pan, 30 minutes, and ground beef! With bell peppers, corn, tomatoes, and cheese!

Would you be able to judge me if you knew that I had added more tortilla chips? The recipe specifies 1/4 cup. This is the correct amount.

But I might have added 1 cup. I just felt that 1 cup may have been a better chip-beef-cheese-rice ratio.

You’ll have dinner ready in just 30 minutes. Remember, there’s no plating involved.

The coolest thing to do is to eat straight from the pan. It’s also less work for everyone.
