Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup uncooked rice (white or brown)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (or plain diced tomatoes)
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions

Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

Incorporate Other Ingredients: Add the uncooked rice, black beans, diced tomatoes, broth, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Add Cheese: Remove the lid, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, and cover again until the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
