Ingredients
11/2 pounds ground chuck
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 cup long grain rice
1 (10 ounce) can Tomatoes and Green Chilies (Rol Tel)
4 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups water

Directions
In a skillet, begin to brown the ground chuck.
After the chuck is starting to cook, add the onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno.
Cook until the onions are clear and the chuck is starting to brown.
Add the salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Stir and mix well.
Add the rice, tomatoes and green chilies, and tomato paste. Stir and mix well.
Add the water and stir well.
Cover the skillet and cook on medium low for 5 minutes.
Remove the lid cover and stir the hash.
Cover the skillet again and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
If you are serving from the skillet, just sprinkle the cheese on top while it is still hot. If serving from a serving dish, sprinkle the cheese on top and garnish with green onions.
Enjoy!
