Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups bell peppers, chopped
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat to keep the soup from being greasy.

- Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the peppers to soften.
Notes
- Add a sprinkle of cheese to each bowl for extra richness and flavor.
- Use leftover cooked rice to save time and reduce prep work.
- For a spicier twist, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
