Method

Cooking the Beef

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Cooking the Rice

  1. 3

    Add Rice and Liquids

    Stir in the white rice, tomato sauce, beef broth, salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, cumin, and chili powder. Mix well to combine.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Fluff and Serve

    After the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork. Garnish with chopped parsley and grated cheese if desired, and serve warm.
