Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 medium bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 15 ounces low-sodium beef broth
  • 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes
  • ¾ cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add ground beef. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart, until mostly browned.
  2. Add chopped onion and bell peppers. Cook for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, beef broth, diced tomatoes, and uncooked rice. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring mixture to a gentle boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir once halfway through to prevent sticking.
  6. Once rice is tender, stir in half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses until melted.
  7. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cover, and let it melt for 2–3 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Brown rice can be used but requires longer cooking and more liquid.
  • Add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrition.
  • A pinch of smoked paprika adds warmth and depth of flavor.
