Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced yellow bell pepper

Liquids and Base

  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups beef broth

Grains and Seasoning

  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Sauté the aromatics and ground beef – Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant. Then add ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Step 2: Add the bell peppers and seasoning – Stir in diced bell peppers, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for a few minutes until peppers begin to soften but still retain some texture.
  3. Step 3: Mix in the tomatoes, broth, and rice – Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and rice to the pot. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Step 4: Simmer for tender flavors – Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the flavors meld together.
  5. Step 5: Adjust and serve – Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot with your favorite garnishes or sides.

Notes

  • Use fresh bell peppers for best flavor and texture.
  • Watch the rice carefully to prevent overcooking and mushiness.
  • Properly brown the ground beef to build a deeper flavor base.
  • Simmer the soup uncovered to concentrate the flavors and avoid watery broth.
  • The soup tastes even better when made a day ahead as the flavors develop.
