Ingredients:
– 2 pounds ground beef
– 2 bell peppers, diced
– 1 onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic
– 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
– 14.5-ounce can crushed tomatoes
– 32-ounce beef broth
– 1 cup rice
Instructions:
1. In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onions, bell peppers, and the delightful array of seasonings until the meat is no longer pink. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional two minutes. Once done, drain the mixture and return it to the pot.
2. Add the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and rice to the pot. Give it a good stir to ensure all the flavors blend harmoniously.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and allow it to simmer until the rice becomes tender, which should take approximately 25-30 minutes. This simmering period allows the flavors to meld, creating a harmonious and satisfying soup.
4. Once the Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup has achieved its ideal consistency and flavor, it’s time to serve. Ladle the warm and flavorful soup into individual bowls, and if you desire an extra layer of richness, top it off with a sprinkle of cheese. This optional touch adds a creamy and savory dimension to your delightful bowl of soup.
