Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pan with the ground beef. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), uncooked rice, water, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it cook for 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is fully cooked, remove the pan from the heat. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and let it melt for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if using, before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
