Chili Skillet (from Kendra Z.)

1 lb . ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 c. tomato juice (or undrained diced tomatoes)
1-8 oz. can kidney beans, undrained
4 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1 cup corn
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1 cup shredded cheese

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef, onion, pepper, and garlic until meat is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain fat. Add the tomato juice, kidney beans, chili powder, oregano, salt, & rice; cover and simmer about 25 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in corn and olives; cover and cook 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with cheese, cover and cook only until cheese melts.

Ok--this is the real recipe, but I usually cheat when I make this so that it's a quick but yummy dinner. I open a few cans of chili or use leftover homemade chili. Then I mix it with pre-cooked brown rice and shredded cheese and cook unti heated.
