Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, onion, salt and pepper, and cook until the meat is browned, breaking up as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Stir in quinoa, then add the cumin, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and water, and stir until combined.

Step 3

Cover, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until quinoa is tender.

Step 4

Top with bacon & cheese, then place under your broiler or in a hot oven for 2-4 minutes, or until cheese is melted. If you don't want to light your oven, you can just cover the skillet and leave it over the hear for a few minute to melt the cheese, but it won't get browned.

Easy and tasty! I added some garlic. As mentioned by another reviewer, I cut down the amount of vinegar and added some chicken broth to make the amount of liquid equal. Thanks!

We enjoyed this dish but I thought it had a touch too much vinegar. I skipped the cumin but added 1/2 pkg of frozen green peas and used a bit more cheese. Very good dish. Thanks for sharing!
