Here’s How to Cook It:

Brown the Beef & Soften the Veggies: Begin by placing the ground beef, chopped onion, and all the colorful bell peppers into a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Allow the mixture to cook until the beef is thoroughly browned and the vegetables have softened. After cooking, drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Add the Seasoning Magic: Incorporate the minced garlic, oregano, basil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper into the skillet. Stir the mixture well and let it sauté for approximately 30 seconds until the garlic and herbs release their delightful aromas.

Stir in the Tomatoes, Broth, and Rice: Add the entire can of diced tomatoes (with their juices), the beef broth, and the rice to the skillet. Mix everything together, bring it to a gentle boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and allow it to cook for about 20 minutes, giving the rice ample time to absorb all the flavors.

Cheesy Finish: Once the rice has become tender and the dish is well combined, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top. Cover the skillet for a few additional minutes to allow the cheese to melt into a gooey, irresistible layer.

Serve It Up: When the cheese has melted and appears delectably inviting, it’s time to serve this one-pan meal, brimming with beef, cheese, and vegetables. Enjoy each bite of this cozy and comforting skillet dish!v
