Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper (chopped; keep the pieces fairly substantial)
- 2 jalapeño peppers (tops and bottoms removed; seeds and membranes removed; roughly chopped; count inferred from plural reference)
- 1 onion (chopped; quantity inferred)
- garlic (cloves, chopped; amount not stated)
- 2 lb ground beef (The creator says to use 1 lb for a smaller family or about 0.5 lb for one person.)
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- Nature seasoning (amount not stated)
- smoked paprika (amount not stated)
- Italian seasoning (amount not stated)
- 0.25 tsp Everything Italian seasoning (amount described as approximate)
- 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (undrained; can size not stated)
- 2 cup white rice (rinsed)
- 4 cup beef broth
- shredded cheese (freshly shredded; a generous amount; the video shows Colby Jack and sharp cheddar, but the spoken recipe does not specify the cheese type or amount)
- fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish; amount not stated)
Steps
- 1
Chop the green bell pepper into fairly substantial pieces and place it in a bowl.
- 2
Remove the tops and bottoms from the jalapeños, remove the seeds and inner membranes, roughly chop them, and add them to the bowl.
- 3
Chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the peppers.
- 4
Remove the bottoms of the garlic cloves, chop the garlic, and set it aside separately from the other vegetables.
- 5
Rinse 2 cups of rice and set it aside.
- 6
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and spread it across the bottom of the pot. Leave it undisturbed so it can develop a browned crust.
- 7
When the underside of the meat is browned, turn it over and break it up into smaller pieces.
- 8
Use a paper towel to remove the excess fat from the pot.
- 9
Add the chopped peppers and onion to the beef. Cook for 4–5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook down.
- 10
Add the chopped garlic and cook until fragrant.
- 11
Add 3 tablespoons of tomato paste to the pot.
- 12
Season with Nature seasoning, smoked paprika, and Italian seasoning. Add about ¼ teaspoon of Everything Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- 13
Mix everything together and let the tomato paste cook to reduce its bitterness.
- 14
Add the undrained can of fire-roasted tomatoes and mix them in.
- 15
Add the 2 cups of rinsed rice and mix.
- 16
Pour in 4 cups of beef broth and stir until everything is evenly combined.
- 17
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil—more than a simmer, but not a vigorous boil.
- 18
Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 18–20 minutes, until the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.
- 19
Turn off the heat and let the covered pot stand for 5–10 minutes so the rice can steam.
- 20
Uncover the pot and scatter freshly shredded cheese over the top. Cover again until the cheese has completely melted.
- 21
Chop fresh parsley and garnish the skillet with it before serving.
Notes
The spoken instructions do not give quantities for most seasonings, garlic, cheese, or parsley, and do not specify the pepper, jalapeño, or onion counts. Amounts for the latter vegetables are estimated from singular/plural wording. Video text appears to show Colby Jack and sharp cheddar, but cheese quantity and type are not clearly stated in the spoken recipe. The transcript includes unrelated cleaning and other recipe segments after this skillet recipe; they are not part of this dish.
