Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
2 cups water
10.5 ounces cheddar cheese soup, condensed
12 ounces 3 pepper and onion blend, frozen
1 ounce taco seasoning packet
2 cups Minute rice (instant rice)
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded use as much as you want
1 cup tortilla chips, crushed use as many as you want

Instructions

Brown ground beef in skillet, drain grease if needed.
Add water, cheddar cheese soup, frozen vegetables, and taco seasoning to the ground beef in the skillet. Stir.
Bring mixture to a boil for one minute.
Add minute rice and stir. Turn off heat and cover tightly for 5-7 minutes.
Fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese and crushed chips. Put lid back on until cheese melts.
Serve with your favorite taco toppings.

Notes

Substitute ground chicken or diced, cooked chicken for ground beef.
For more spice, use condensed fiesta cheese soup.
Any type of frozen vegetable will work.
If your minute rice doesn't seem cooked after sitting with the lid on for 5-7 minutes, turn the heat on low for a couple extra minutes and that should do it.
