Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan with a lid
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups, and spoons
  • Cutting board and knife

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 can (14.5 oz / 411g) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 can (8 oz / 227g) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for some heat)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  • Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables soften.
  • Stir in the long-grain white rice, diced tomatoes (with their juice), tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  • Heat the mixture until it reaches a boiling point, then lower the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  • Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
