  • 3 bell peppers (any color) diced
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3-4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 can Rotel, diced tomatoes and green chilies with juice
  • 1 cup tomato sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add in the Veggies: Add the diced bell peppers, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
  3. Combine the Rice and Seasonings: Mix in the uncooked rice, canned tomatoes and green chilies (with juice), tomato sauce, broth, and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Once it’s simmering, cover and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  5. Add Cheese: Remove the lid and stir in the cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
