Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the cumin and chili powder, stirring until combined and fragrant.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, beans, and rice, and season with salt and pepper. Then, transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish and drizzle the cheese sauce over the top.
-
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until hot and the cheese sauce begins to bubble and brown slightly on the edges.
Remove from the oven, and garnish with green onion.

Add 1/4 cup of jarred salsa to the extra cheese sauce and serve with tortilla chips on the side. (optional)
