Ground Beef and Brown Rice Mexican Skillet Recipe

Hello everyone! I hope y'all had a great weekend!! We had a wonderful weekend! On Saturday we walked in a parade collecting donations for the food shelf for Girl Scouts. Sunday was mostly spent at home cleaning, but we did go to the slash pad down the street for a couple hours! I love spending these summer days with my daughter!

Today's recipe is great for a week night dinner! I'm a huge Mexican food lover and am always trying to come up with some new recipes other than tacos and rice. I love the flavors and ingredients in this recipe and also love that it's a one dish meal, no piles of dirty dishes waiting to be washed! I hope you enjoy as much as we did!
