Method
Preparation
- Start by prepping your vegetables—dice your onion and chop your bell peppers. Make sure to mince the garlic as well for that aromatic boost.
Cooking
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown your ground beef until it’s no longer pink. Drain any excess fat and transfer the meat to your slow cooker.
- Add your diced onion, chopped bell peppers, and minced garlic on top of the meat. Follow this with the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Italian seasoning, and some salt and pepper to taste.
- Give everything a good stir to blend all the flavors together.
- Cover your crockpot and set it to low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- About 15 minutes before serving, stir in your cooked rice. If you prefer to keep it separate, you can add it to individual bowls when serving.
- Spoon the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the warmth of home-cooked goodness!
Notes
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of beef broth if it looks too thick.
