Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (optional, for topping) shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, uncooked rice, and water.
Season the mixture with chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer gently for 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fully cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is cooked and the mixture is thickened, remove it from the heat. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld further.
Serve hot, optionally topped with shredded cheddar cheese for extra richness and flavor.
