miraculously all my kids ate this with no complaints!

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 cup shredded Wisconsin cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Wisconsin Monterey Jack cheese

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef, onion and garlic. Cook until beef has browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in bell peppers until tender, about 3-4 minutes
  3. Stir in tomatoes, green chiles, rice, beef broth, chili powder and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until rice is cooked through, about 16-18 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
  4. Remove from heat and top with cheeses. Cover until cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately.
