This savory stuffed pepper stew combines rich flavors with hearty ingredients for a satisfying meal that's perfect for any dinner table.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons oil
2 medium bell peppers
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
1 pound ground beef
3 quarts water
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons beef base
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup brown rice
Method
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced bell peppers, onions, and minced garlic, sautéing until they soften and become fragrant, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
Crumble in the ground beef and cook while stirring until it's evenly browned, which should take around 7 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess fat before moving to the next step.
Introduce 3 quarts of water along with tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, ketchup, beef base, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well, then allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
In a separate large saucepan, boil 4 cups of water. Once boiling, add brown rice, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, roughly 45 to 50 minutes. Afterward, stir the cooked rice into the soup.
