1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
2–3 bell peppers (green, red, or mixed), diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
4 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1½ cups cooked rice (white or brown)
Fresh parsley or shredded cheese for topping (optional)
Heat oil in a large pot. Brown ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add onion and peppers. Sauté 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer covered 20–25 minutes.
Stir in cooked rice and heat through, 5–10 minutes more.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, topped with parsley or cheese if desired.
To freeze, cool completely and store in individual containers. For low-carb, use cauliflower rice. Add red pepper flakes for heat.
