Ingredients Needed to Make This Recipe
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
- 3/4 cups white rice, I use Jasmine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups cheese
- 1 tbsp parsley
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until the ground beef is fully cooked, crumbled, and no longer pink. Drain and discard any fat. Place the skillet back on the heat and add in the bell peppers, diced tomatoes, rice, beef broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook for about 18 minutes, until rice is cooked through.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and top with the shredded cheese. Cover again and let the cheese melt over low heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe works best with uncooked long-grain white rice. I prefer to use Jasmine rice.
