Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the diced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the diced tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cooked white rice until well incorporated and heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of shredded cheese if desired.
