Instructions

Sauté & Brown: In a large skillet, sauté the onion and bell pepper in olive oil for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ground chuck and cook until browned and broken apart. Drain the excess grease.
Prep the Liquid: Microwave the water in a liquid measuring cup until boiling (about 1 minute). Stir in the beef bouillon granules until dissolved.

Incorporate Meat: Stir half of the cooked meat mixture into the bowl with the rice and beans.
Layer: Spray a 4-to-5-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Pour the mixture from the bowl into the dish.
Top: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, then add the remaining half of the meat mixture on top of the cheese.
Bake: Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes until the rice is tender and the flavors are perfectly melded.
