Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and sauté until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the black-eyed peas, diced tomatoes, diced green chilies, cooked rice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
