- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper cored and chopped

- Add the olive oil to the skillet along with the bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices from the can), beef broth, 1 cup of each cheese, the uncooked rice, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the beef mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of cheese over the top. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the rice is tender.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving warm.
