Add corn, undrained tomatoes, uncooked rice, water, chili powder, and cumin to skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in beans and cooked sausage; heat through. Sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese is slightly melted.
