directions

Casserole

In a 10" or 12" sauté pan or skillet with lid, heat oil and add onion and jalapeno. Cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and meat and cook for 2 minutes (drain fat if desired). Stir in chili powder, salt, tomatoes, kidney beans, rice and 3/4 can (use tomato can) water. Stir and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat 10 minutes. Uncover and cook additional 5-10 minutes or until rice is tender.

Serve

Stir in cilantro just before ready to serve. Turn off heat and sprinkle cheese over top of casserole. (Or if entertaining, transfer to a 9 x 13 casserole and sprinkle with cheese). Place pan under broiler; cook until cheese is melted and a little crusty. Serve warm.
