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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the uncooked rice and beef broth to the skillet. Stir gently, ensuring the rice is evenly distributed and submerged in the broth.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, if using, and serve hot. Enjoy your Texas Hash Vegas Style!
