Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green chilies, undrained
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups instant brown rice

1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1

In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink,6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain.
2

Add tomatoes, broth, chili powder, salt and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Stir in rice and peppers. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle with cheese. Let stand, covered, until cheese is melted.

Before adding cheese, cool beef mixture. Freeze beef mixture and cheese separately in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add a little broth if necessary. Sprinkle with cheese.
