Suitable for stuffing bell peppers

Ingredients

• 1 lb 85% lean ground beef
• 1 medium onion, dice
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
• 1 can tomato sauce, 15 oz
• 1 can tomato paste, 6 oz
• 1½ cups beef broth
• 1 cup long grain rice
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp sweet paprika
• ½ tbsp ground oregano
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp white pepper
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

Add 2 tsp olive oil to a 5 quart pot and heat until shimmering. Add uncooked rice and coat with oil, toasting rice until fragrant and beginning to brown. Add onions and saute until sweating, but not yet translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and continue to saute until fragrant, one more minute.

Combine ground beef and cook until just browned.

Combine remaining ingredients, maintaining medium heat until simmering. Cover, reduce heat to low and maintain simmer 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender.

Serve topped with cheese, or use to stuff bell peppers.
