1 1/2 - 2 c uncooked minute rice, prepared according to box directions
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
3 clove garlic, minced
1 c beef broth
1/2 tsp beef bouillon paste - optional
1 c tomato sauce or chopped tomatoes in juice
2 1/2 Tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp salt

1 - 4 oz can green chiles
1 can(s) corn, drained - optional
1 c shredded pepper jack cheese - or cheddar
toppings - sour cream, corn chips,chopped green onion - optional

Steps:

1. Cook rice according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef, onion and garlic over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
3. Stir in the rice, beans, broth, tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, cumin, chiles, corn and pepper; heat through. This pic is missing the rice...oops!
4. Sprinkle with cheese, cover and cook until cheese is melted - sometimes I set under broiler. I leave this set for 5 minutes to thicken up.
5. Serve by itself or with your favorite toppings.
