Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 450 g ground beef Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat.
  • 2 pieces bell peppers, chopped Feel free to mix up the bell pepper colors for a more colorful dish.
  • 1 piece onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for heat.
  • 425 g canned low sodium beef broth
  • 425 g canned diced tomatoes
  • 180 g uncooked long grain white rice You can use brown rice or quinoa as variations.
  • 75 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 75 g shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until mostly browned.
  2. Add onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Incorporate minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, beef broth, diced tomatoes, and uncooked rice. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the rice is tender.
  6. Remove the lid and stir in half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses until melted into the mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top. Cover and allow cheese to melt or place under the grill for rapid melting if your pan is oven-proof. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
