  • 3 bell peppers (red & green), diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Cook meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.

  2. Add veggies: Stir in onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

  3. Build soup base: Add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

  4. Simmer: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes to let flavors blend.

  5. Add rice: Stir in cooked rice and simmer 5 more minutes. (If using cauliflower rice, add just before serving to prevent overcooking.)

  6. Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

🔑 Notes

  • Add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top for extra “stuffed pepper” vibes.

  • For meal prep, store rice separately and add when reheating to avoid mushiness.
