Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.

  5. Transfer the beef and rice mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
