Cook and stir garlic in oil until light golden brown. Add rice; cook 3 minutes, stirring often. Add 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Heat to boiling over high heat; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 15 minutes. Remove garlic slices from rice with fork before serving.
Meanwhile, in 4-quart Dutch oven, mix all chili ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bell peppers are tender.
In small bowl, mix Salsa Cream ingredients.
To serve, spoon 1 cup rice on one side of large shallow soup bowl. Spoon 1 1/2 cups chili next to rice. Top with Salsa Cream and 3-Pepper Salsa.

Tips

Choose the right type of rice. Jasmine or basmati rice are good options for chili rice, as they have a light, fluffy texture that can absorb the flavors of the chili well.
Cook the rice according to the package directions. Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and prevent it from becoming sticky.
Use a variety of beans. Different types of beans, such as black, pinto, and kidney beans, offer different flavors and textures to chili rice. Choose your favorites or use a combination of beans for a more complex flavor.
Add plenty of spices. Chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder are all essential spices for chili rice. You can also add other spices, such as cayenne pepper, paprika, or chipotle powder, to taste.
Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make chili rice, so don't be afraid to try different ingredients and flavor combinations. You might be surprised at what you come up with!
