In a large deep skillet or 5-quart dutch oven, heat 2 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Brown and crumble ground beef. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate and set aside.
Add remaining teaspoon oil, reduce heat to medium, and cook onions and peppers for 6-8 minutes until soft. Add the beef back along with the corn, garlic, and seasoning and cook another 30 seconds.
Stir in the broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Turn heat up and bring to a boil. Add uncooked rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until rice is tender.
Take off burner, stir in 3/4 cup cheese and sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup over the top. Let sit for about 5 minutes to allow cheese to melt. Serve.
