Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef

2 green bell peppers (chopped)

1 small onion (chopped)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves (minced)

4 teaspoons oregano (divided)

1 ¼ teaspoon salt (divided)

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons tomato paste

½ cup long grain white rice (uncooked)

15 ounce canned diced tomatoes

½ cup water

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

¼ cup chopped parsley

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, green peppers, onions, garlic, 3 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook until beef is browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and saute until well combined and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the rice, diced tomatoes, remaining oregano and salt and water and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

Remove from heat but keep covered for an additional 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate.

Serve in bowls garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and parsley.
