Black Beans with Ground Beef

I just threw together this quick slow carb meal this morning and then crossed my fingers that I had something tasty waiting for me at lunch time.  Luckily, my new creation was a winner, and it is one of the simplest slow carb recipes that I've posted yet!
The only prep was that a few nights ago, I had cooked some ground beef to add to a different recipe, and I had leftover cooked beef in the fridge.  Take a look below, and give this slow carb recipe a try when you're rushing to get out the door in the morning.

Ingredients:

• Ground beef
• Black beans
• Tomato
• Salt
• Pepper
• Italian seasoning

Directions:

1. In a frying pan, brown some ground beef.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  I also used a generous amount of Italian seasoning.
2. In a microwavable container, add a serving of the cooked ground beef.
3. On top of the beef, add approximately half a can of black beans (rinsed).
4. Cut up one Roma tomato into small pieces, and add those on top of the black beans.  Season with a bit more salt and pepper, if you wish.
5. Put on the lid, and head out the door.  :)
6. At lunch time, throw the whole thing in the microwave and cook it for about 3 minutes (depends on the microwave).  This should steam everything and allow the flavors to mix together.  When you remove it from the microwave, give it a stir to mix things up.
7. Serve with a side of unsweetened salsa.

Recommendations and Options:
This recipe is quick to make, and it cooks in almost no time when you are ready to eat it.  It could be considered a super-fast chili recipe.  Next time I will be trying this with generous amount of chili powder and possibly some crushed garlic and chopped onions.  Please give it a try and let me know how your creation turns out!
