Ingredients
  

  • 1 can diced tomatoes juices retained
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • ½ yellow bell pepper chopped
  • ½ red bell pepper chopped
  • ½ green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • cup rice white rice recommended, but alternatives are acceptable
  • cups shredded cheddar cheese optional, but recommended for a rich flavor
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • 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
