Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g ground beef
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 425 g canned low sodium beef broth
  • 425 g canned diced tomatoes
  • 180 g uncooked long grain white rice
  • 75 g shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 75 g shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

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

Notes

For a spicier casserole, consider adding some chopped jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
