Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 14.5 ounces (1 can) diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces (1 can) tomato sauce
- 1 cup, uncooked white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Stir in the uncooked white rice, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, and beef broth. Mix well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again for 2-3 minutes to let the cheese melt.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Texas Hash Core!
