Ingredients

6 servings
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 to 2 ¼ cups diced bell pepper (red, green and/or yellow)
  • 2 cups beef broth (more as needed)
  • 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices, 1 can)
  • 1 ½ cups tomato sauce
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup basmati rice (uncooked)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps

  1. In a 3.5QT Dutch oven or saucepan, brown beef with onion and garlic until no pink remains over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.

  2. Add peppers, beef broth, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, rice, Italian seasoning, and salt & pepper to taste.

  3. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer 25 minutes or until rice is tender. (Add more beef broth if needed).

  4. Once rice is tender, top with cheese and cover with a lid until melted. Optionally, broil in the oven to brown the cheese for 2-3 minutes.
