Simple Steps to Culinary Bliss:

1. Brown the Beef:

In a spacious skillet, cook the ground beef until it’s mostly done. Toss in the finely chopped onions and bell peppers, letting them cook for 5-10 minutes until they reach that perfect level of tenderness.

2. Garlic Infusion:

Introduce the minced garlic to the beef mixture and let it cook for a minute or two, just until its tempting aroma fills the air.

3. Create the Flavor Symphony:

Stir in all the other ingredients, excluding the cheese, and bring this flavorful concoction to a lively boil.

4. Simmer and Mingle:

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for approximately 20 minutes, giving it a good stir halfway through.

5. Cheesy Elevation:

Once the rice achieves its desired tenderness, fold in about half of the shredded cheese until it melts seamlessly into the beef and rice.

6. Crown it with Cheese:

Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover the pan, and let the cheese luxuriously melt. For those in a rush, pop the pan under the broiler (if oven safe) to speed up the melting process.
