Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium white onion, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel), undrained
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain off excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid), tomato paste, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Add the uncooked rice and beef broth to the skillet. Stir gently, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed and submerged in the broth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is tender, remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top and cover again for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if using, and serve hot. Enjoy your Texas Hash Vegas Style!
