Red Beans and Rice tonight, quick and easy!

My children are on a quest to earn extra money, so all of the "extra" chores that need to be done around the house are getting done by them. So, I was foreman and gave them direction and critiqued how they were doing. Whheeww... I am tired. Ha!


Red Beans and Rice
1 lb. ground beef
1 c. uncooked rice
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15 oz) cans red kidney beans, undrained
2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained 
1⁄2 teaspoon salt 
1⁄4 teaspoon pepper 
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, optional
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, optional

Cook rice according to package directions. While rice is cooking, brown ground beef in stock pot. Add garlic while the ground beef is cooking. After ground beef is cooked through, drain, if needed. Stir in rice, beans, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cheese and cilantro, before serving.
