# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1 medium onion, chopped
03 - 1 green bell pepper, chopped (roughly ¾ cup)
04 - 2 cups diced tomatoes with liquid (16 ounces)
05 - ½ cup raw long grain rice
06 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
07 - 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
08 - 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt, adjust to liking
10 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (if you want)

# Instructions:

01 - Grab a big 12" cast iron pan (or any skillet) and put it over medium heat. Cook the beef, onion and pepper until meat turns brown and veggies get soft. Drain the extra grease when done.
02 - Throw in your tomatoes, raw rice, chili powder, worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. Give everything a good mix.
03 - Put a heat-safe lid on your cast iron pan (or whatever oven-safe dish you're using). No lid? Just cover it with some foil.
04 - Get your oven hot at 375ºF. Stick the covered dish in and let it cook for 35-45 minutes until you can tell the rice is soft.
05 - Stir the rice with a fork to loosen it up. Sprinkle cheese on top if you'd like. Dig in! Any leftovers should go in a sealed container.

# Notes:

01 - You'll end up with about 5 cups total
02 - Keep any extras in a sealed container
