This dish is both fast and easy to make, and very filling. If you've never tried kasha before, this is also a good dish to try it in, as it blends perfectly with the other flavors and textures. You can find kasha at places such as Whole Foods, where I was able to get the cup I need for about $1, which is probably the cheapest purchase ever made at a Whole Foods!
Cheesy Beef & Kasha
Adapted from Betty Crocker "Whole Grains"
6 servings
Ingredients:
1 1/4 lb ground beef (I used 85% lean)
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup uncooked buckwheat kernals or kasha
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 4.5 oz can chopped green chiles, undrained
1.25 oz of taco seasoning mix (roughly 1 package)
2 cups frozen corn kernals
1 1/2 cups water
4 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1. In a 12-inch skillet, cook the ground beef and onion over medium-high heat, until beef is cooked through.
2. Stir in kasha until kernels are thoroughly mixed in with beef.
3. Stir in tomatoes, chiles, taco seasoning mix, corn, and water.
4. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and cover, cooking until kasha is tender.
5. Sprinkle cheese over kasha mixture.
6. Enjoy!
