Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, browning until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until vegetables are softened and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
