Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, I brown the ground beef over medium heat until it’s nicely cooked and crumbled. Then, I drain any excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning, along with a splash of water to create a rich flavor. Once that’s mixed in, I toss in the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes, allowing all those delicious ingredients to simmer together for about five minutes. The aroma wafting through my kitchen is simply mouthwatering! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
