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. Brown the beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until mostly browned.
  2. Add the vegetables: To the skillet, add the chopped onions and bell peppers. Continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Incorporate garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, adding depth to the dish.
  4. Mix in seasonings and liquids: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, beef broth, diced tomatoes, and uncooked rice. Mix everything thoroughly.
  5. Cook the mixture: Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cover the skillet, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the rice is tender.
  6. Add cheese: Remove the lid and stir in half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses until melted into the mixture.
  7. Final cheese layer: Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top. Cover and allow the cheese to melt. If your pan is oven-proof, you can place it under the grill for rapid melting.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Remove from heat and serve immediately for a wonderful home-cooked meal.

Notes

For added flavor, consider using spicy sausage instead of ground beef or experiment with different types of cheese.
