This hearty and flavorful skillet combines ground beef, rice, and tomatoes for a quick, satisfying meal with bold tastes.

1 pound Ground beef (Choose lean for less grease or mix with fattier cuts for extra flavor.)
1 cup Long grain rice (Provides fluffy, separate grains.)
1 medium Onion (Finely chopped.)
2 cloves Garlic (Minced fresh for best flavor.)
14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (Use canned or fresh.)
2 tablespoons Tomato paste (Intensifies the tomato flavor.)
1 cup Beef broth (Adds savory depth.)
1 teaspoon Paprika (Smoky and sweet.)
to taste Salt (Essential for flavor.)
to taste Pepper (Essential for flavor.)
1 cup Bell peppers (Diced.)
1/4 cup Fresh parsley or cilantro (Chopped.)
1 cup Grated cheese (Melt on top before serving.)

Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned, then add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in diced bell peppers and rice, cover, and cook until rice is tender, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, and top with grated cheese. Cover until cheese melts.

For a spicier flavor, add a pinch of chili powder or hot sauce.
