Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium, diced White onion
• 1 medium, diced Green bell pepper
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 cup Uncooked long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the Creole seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring the beef and vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juices), beef broth, uncooked rice, and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook over low heat for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
