1⁄2 red pepper deseeded & roughly chopped
1⁄2 tin of chopped tomatoes (400g tin)
1⁄2 cup (60g) frozen corn kernels defrosted
1⁄2 tin of black beans (400g tin) drained & rinsed

Preheat oven to 200°C/fan-forced 180°C/gas 6.
Heat a large heavy-based oven-proof frypan over medium-high heat.
Add oil, beef and seasoning and cook, stirring to break up large clumps for 5 minutes, or until browned.
Add red pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add tomatoes, corn, beans, rice and boiling water and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
Transfer pan to oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Stir, then return to the oven and cook for a further 5-10 minutes or until rice is just tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
