Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can 15 ounces garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  4. Stir in the garbanzo beans, diced tomatoes (with juice), cooked rice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it evenly and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
