Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
- Add the diced yellow onion and bell peppers into the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for a minute.
- Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, uncooked long grain white rice, and beef broth. Stir together and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Check that the rice is tender and transfer mixture to a greased baking dish if necessary. Top with shredded cheese.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
