Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground Beef | 1 pound |
| Bell Peppers (chopped) | 2 |
| Onion (finely chopped) | 1 |
| Garlic (minced) | 3 cloves |
| Worcestershire Sauce | 1 tablespoon |
| Beef Broth (low sodium) | 1 (15 oz) can |
| Diced Tomatoes (canned) | 1 (15 oz) can |
| Long Grain White Rice (uncooked) | 1 cup |
| Italian Seasoning | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | 1 teaspoon |
| Black Pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Mozzarella Cheese (shredded) | 3/4 cup |
| Cheddar Cheese (shredded) | 3/4 cup |
Instructions:
-
Cook the Ground Beef and Vegetables: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once mostly cooked, add the chopped onions and bell peppers. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Add Garlic and Remaining Ingredients: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Simmer and Cook Rice: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Stir halfway through cooking.
-
Melt Cheese: Stir in half of the mozzarella cheese into the cooked mixture until it is melted and incorporated.
-
Top with Cheese and Melt: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt. Alternatively, for faster melting, you can place the skillet under the broiler (if oven-safe) for a few minutes.
-
Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately.
