Spanish Rice Bake: Ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, tomatoes, and rice cooked in sweet-hot sauce, topped with Cheddar cheese, and fresh cilantro.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef
0.5 cup finely chopped onion
0.25 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
1 cup water
0.75 cup long-grain white rice
0.5 cup chile sauce
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, or to taste
2 tablespoons sliced jalapeno peppers, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch ground black pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) for the perfect cooking temperature.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté beef, onion, and green bell pepper until beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off excess grease before continuing.
Combine beef mixture, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, water, rice, chile sauce, olives, jalapeno peppers, garlic, salt, brown sugar, ground cumin, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and black pepper in a large pot over medium-low heat, stirring gently.
Simmer the beef-rice mixture until flavors meld for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in 1 cup of Cheddar cheese. Transfer the mixture to a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish, press down firmly, and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of Cheddar cheese on top.
Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, for about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
