Ingredients:

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1⁄2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup water or beef broth
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

1. Prepare Your Oven: If choosing the baked version, preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. Brown the Meat and Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Cook until the beef browns and vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Aromatics: Incorporate minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to release its fragrance.
4. Season the Mixture: Stir in chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
5. Combine Main Ingredients: Add diced tomatoes with their juice, uncooked rice, Worcestershire sauce, and water or beef broth. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
6. Cook to Perfection: Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until rice becomes tender and absorbs most of the liquid.
7. Optional Baking Method: For a baked version, transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
8. Add the Finishing Touch: If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top during the final 5 minutes of cooking or baking until melted and bubbly.

Storage Solutions:

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
• Freezing: Portion and freeze in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months
• Reheating: Warm in the microwave or stovetop with a splash of broth to maintain moisture
• Meal Prep: Prepare vegetables in advance and store separately until ready to cook
