Ingredients

- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 10 ounces can Rotel® Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut tops off each red pepper. Remove seeds and stems.

- In a large skillet heat canola oil and sauté onions until translucent.
- Add ground beef and stir meat around to separate.

Helpful hints
- If you want less heat add the mild version of canned tomatoes with chilies.
- Be sure to count as 2 vegetable servings if you are on a low potassium diet. To reduce the potassium to 534 mg add 1-1/2 cups of cooked rice, omit the corn and reduce canned tomatoes and chilies to 1/2 cup.
- Patients who do peritoneal dialysis or daily home hemodialysis often require a higher potassium intake. This recipe can help provide more potassium.
- For lower protein CKD-nondialysis diets reduce the ground beef to 1/2 pound of the amount recommended by your dietitian.
