INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 1 pound lean ground beef
    • 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
    • 🍅 1 medium tomato, chopped

  • Flavoring

    • 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    • 1 tablespoon minced onion
    • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    • 1 teaspoon dried basil
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • Ground black pepper to taste

  • Base

    • 2 cups cooked rice

  • Topping

    • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bell pepper, tomato, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook and stir until the pepper has slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Strain half the liquid from the canned diced tomatoes into the mixture.

3

Stir diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper into the ground beef mixture. Simmer until some liquid has reduced, about 10 minutes. Add rice and mix well. Transfer to a casserole dish and sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.
