Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Season with basil, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  5. If adding rice, stir in the cooked rice and simmer for another 5-10 minutes to heat through.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace the ground meat with plant-based proteins like lentils or chickpeas.
  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
  • To make it low-carb, skip the rice or substitute with cauliflower rice.
