Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 14.5 ounce petite diced tomatoes drained
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 2 cups instant white rice
  • Beef broth (salted kind)

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat add the olive oil, diced peppers and onions. Stir until pieces are coated in oil and allow them to sauté 5 minutes, occasionally stirring. Add the ground beef and cook until no pink is visible within the meat then add the minced garlic and allow it to cook for an additional 30-45 seconds. Drain off any excess grease and season with onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper.
  • Add drained petite diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, instant rice and beef broth. (Follow the rice to water ratio on the box for how much broth to add). Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, cover and allow to simmer until rice is cooked thoroughly and the broth is absorbed. Serve & enjoy!

Notes

  • I used the regular beef broth and still had to add some salt so I do not recommend using reduced sodium broth.
  • Follow the rice to water ratio suggestion on the box/bag of rice you are using. If you do not measure this precisely then you will end up with soupy or dry rice.
