 Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 bell peppers, chopped (any color)

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup uncooked white rice

• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

• 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

• 2 cups beef broth

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

 Instructions

Step 1: Brown the Beef

In a large skillet or deep pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

Add chopped onions and bell peppers. Cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly soft.
Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 3: Add Rice and Sauces

Pour in the uncooked rice, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth.
Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Simmer and Cook

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat.
Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Step 5: Add Cheese

Remove from heat. Stir half of the cheese into the casserole.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and cover until melted.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Top with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
