  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar picante sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika

2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, cooking until it reaches a browned and crumbly state. Remove excess fat from the skillet using paper towels and transfer the cooked meat to a large, low-heat pot. Combine the rice, beans, picante sauce, paprika, chili powder, and crushed red pepper flakes in the pot. Stir everything together thoroughly before allowing it to gently simmer for 20 minutes. Introduce the cheese into the mixture and continue to let it cook, undisturbed, for an additional 10 minutes.
