Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons LUV Flavors olive oil
- 1 cup white rice

Step 1:
Add olive oil to a medium saucepan. Stir in rice, and cook over medium heat until rice begins to have a golden color, about 5 minutes.

Cover, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.
Step 2:
Meanwhile, sauté beef with remaining 1/2 cup onion and 1/2 cup green pepper until meat loses pink color and vegetables are tender.
Step 3:
Add remaining chili sauce, tomato sauce, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes.
Step 4:
Turn rice onto a platter, and fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese, and top with beef mixture. Serve immediately.
