Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 14.5 ounces petite diced tomatoes, drained
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 cups instant white rice
  • Beef broth (salted, follow rice package instructions for ratio)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced bell peppers and onion, stirring to coat them in oil. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until no pink remains. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds.
  • Drain any excess grease, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • Stir in the drained petite diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, instant rice, and beef broth, following the rice package for the correct amount of liquid.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use regular rice instead of instant rice, but you will need to adjust the cooking time and liquid ratio accordingly.
  • For extra flavor, add some shredded cheese on top before serving.
  • Can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated.
