Instructions: This isnt gourmet, but it sure is good, and a hit with kids. I got it from the Girl Scouts of America, when I was a Brownie Troop Leader. Obviously, it will serve the troop. You can use it for a meal for your kids sleepovers. You can take it to a pot-luck.

Brown ground beef in oil, until crumbly. Add next 5 ingredients and saute for 5 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, beans, and rice. Add water, as needed.

Cover and let simmer. Check occasionally to see if more water is needed.

Simmer approximately 30-45 minutes. Sprinkle olives and cheese on top.

Cover for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
