Method
Deseed and dice the peppers.
Heat a large frying with a splash of oil. Add the peppers, beef mince, paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano and garlic granules. Stir well, breaking up the mince with the back of a spoon and fry for 10 minutes, stirring regularly.
Make up the stock cube with 125ml boiling water per serving.
Add the rice and stock to the pan, mix well, pop a lid on and let it simmer for 10 minutes. If needed, add more water to the pan.
Meanwhile, grate the cheese. Preheat your grill to a medium heat.
Mix half the cheese into the rice then top with the remaining cheese. Place under the grill for a few minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Then plate up and and enjoy!
