Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced (any color)
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cups shredded cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes to soften.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juice), uncooked white rice, beef broth, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 7

Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and let it melt before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious one-dish ground beef meal.
