Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 Sweet Onion (diced)
  • 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Tsp. Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
  • 1 Medium Yellow Bell Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 Medium Orange Bell Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 Medium Green Bell Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 14oz. Can Diced Tomatoes (drained)
  • 1 cup Quick White Rice or Long Grain Rice
  • 1 1/4 cups Beef Stock
  • 1 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 1 1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (divided)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet on medium heat, add ground beef and cook it until it’s no longer pink, and then drain the fat. Add the onions and cook until they are tender. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and then the seasonings, and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Then add in chopped bell peppers and let them cook for about 2 minutes until they are soft. Stir in diced tomatoes and beef broth. Turn up the heat and bring it to a boil, then stir in the uncooked quick rice. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 5 to 8 minutes until the rice is cooked (If you use regular long-grain rice, it may take longer for the rice to cook).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in shredded Cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese. Then sprinkle the remaining Mozzarella cheese on top, cover and let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. Enjoy this quick easy one pan skillet recipe!
