Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- To the same skillet, add 2 diced bell peppers, 1 chopped onion, and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté the vegetables until they become tender and fragrant, around 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, stirring well to evenly combine the flavors.
- Pour in 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes and 1 can of tomato sauce. Mix everything thoroughly to coat the beef and veggies evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low, letting the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in 2 cups of cooked rice, mixing it well with the beef and vegetables. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Optionally, sprinkle ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve warm.
