Ingredients

  • olive oil
    2 tbsp
  • ground beef

    lean

    1 ½ lb
  • yellow onion

    diced

    1
  • red bell pepper

    diced

    1 medium
  • green bell pepper

    diced

    1 medium
  • cloves garlic

    minced

    3 small
  • Italian seasoning
    1 tsp
  • Worcestershire sauce
    2 tsp
  • salt
    ½ tsp
  • ground black pepper
    ¼ tsp
  • canned diced tomatoes
    14 oz
  • long grain white rice
    1 c
  • beef broth
    1 ½ c
  • cheese

    cheddar, mozzarella, or both

    1 ½ c
  • parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. In a pan, or in a heat resistant skillet over medium-high heat and heat olive oil, and add ground beef.

  2. 2

    Saute while breaking it with a spatula until it’s no longer pink. Drain the fat, then add the onion, and bell peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add garlic, seasoning, worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. And cook for 30 seconds. Add diced tomatoes and stir it in.

  4. 4

    Add rice, and beef broth. Stir and bring to a boil, then cover with a lid (or foil if using a casserole dish that doesn’t have a lid).

  5. 5

    Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes. It’s ready to be removed when the rice is cooked through (I try the rice and see if it still has a crunch). If not, return to the oven and add a splash of water IF necessary.

  6. 6

    Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with cheese.

  7. 7

    Then return to the oven and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
