Heat the skillet to medium high heat. As soon as the thermo spot turns bright red, add in the beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the ground beef is no longer pink and the veggies are tender.
Add in chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, tomato sauce, and rice. Bring to a boil and cover and reduce heat and let simmer 5-7 minutes or until rice is tender. Sprinkle with cheese and stir until cheese has melted.
