Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
