- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 300 g Canned pineapple chunks (in juice), drained
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce

- 4 tbsp Ketchup
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 3 cups Cooked white rice
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the red and green bell peppers, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and pour over the beef and veggie mixture.
Add the drained pineapple chunks to the skillet and stir everything together. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the flavors combine well.
Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish lightly with non-stick spray or oil.
Spread the cooked white rice evenly across the bottom of the casserole dish.
Spoon the beef and pineapple mixture over the rice, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Hawaiian Beef Casserole!
