My mom used to make this when I was a child. It was a meal that was budget friendly for a family of six. Plus, it is full of protein!

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 ½ cups chopped onion
½ cup chopped bell pepper
1 clove minced garlic
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups water
¾ cup uncooked white rice
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
¾ cup grated American cheese
⅓ cup chopped black olives

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
Stir onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, and salt with the ground beef; cook and stir until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Stir kidney beans, tomatoes, and rice into the beef mixture; pour into a large casserole dish and top with American cheese and olives.
Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is beginning to brown around the edges, 45 to 50 minutes.
