Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 15 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can 15 ounces kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 cup bell peppers chopped (any color)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked rice white or brown
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the diced tomatoes, kidney beans, corn, bell peppers, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large casserole dish, combine the cooked rice with the beef mixture. Stir well to combine.
  5. Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
