Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (if needed)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, diced (use red, green, or yellow)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white or brown rice
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional, for extra depth)
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional, balances acidity)
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
  • Shredded cheese (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  • Brown the Meat: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
  • Sauté Veggies: Add diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic to the pot. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  • Add Liquids & Seasoning: Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add Rice: Stir in the uncooked rice and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Serve & Garnish: Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheese and fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Make it Low-Carb: Swap rice for cauliflower rice (add it at the end and simmer for just a few minutes).

Use Leftover Rice: If using cooked rice, add it in the last 5 minutes to warm through.

Make it Vegetarian: Swap ground beef for lentils or plant-based crumbles.

Spicy Option: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat!
