Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a medium saucepan. Toss in the rice and cook it over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it starts to turn a nice golden color—this should take about 5 minutes. Then add half of the chopped onion and green pepper, cooking and stirring for another minute. Pour in the water and half of the chili sauce, then bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the corn, lemon juice, and half a teaspoon of salt. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes.

Step 2
While the rice is cooking, heat a skillet and sauté the beef along with the remaining onion and green pepper. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the veggies have softened. Stir in the rest of the chili sauce, tomato sauce, cumin, and another half teaspoon of salt. Let this mixture simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 3
When the rice is done, spread it out on a platter and fluff it up with a fork. Sprinkle the cheese over the rice, then spoon the beef mixture on top. Serve it right away and enjoy!
