Beefy Huevos Rancheros

Good morning sunshine! This simple weekend breakfast or brunch is good for you – body and soul! It’s a snap to make with simple pantry ingredients and nutrient-packed eggs, Cheddar and lean Canadian beef. You can use up to 8 eggs, and if you prefer a smoky fiery version, add a teaspoon or so chopped canned chipotle peppers.

Directions

Cook beef, onion, sweet pepper, chili powder and cumin in large deep skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked and any liquid has evaporated. Drain if necessary. Stir in tomatoes, tomato sauce, beans and corn.

Cook over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spread into a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking dish.

Make 6 to 8 wells in meat mixture; gently break an egg into each; sprinkle cheese over top. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven chili is bubbling and until egg whites are set, about 25 minutes.
