# Instructions:
01 -
Warm a skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in some olive oil, toss in the ground beef, and break it apart as it cooks. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
02 -
When the meat's browned, toss in the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook them down for about 3-4 minutes until they become soft and smell amazing.
03 -
Mix in the oregano and paprika, stirring to spread the flavors throughout the beef and veggies.
04 -
Pour the rice into the skillet and stir it around, so it gets coated well with the mixture of beef and vegetables.
05 -
Pour the beef broth and diced tomatoes into the skillet. Raise the heat to get it boiling, then bring it down to a lower heat setting.
06 -
Cover the skillet and let it simmer for roughly 18-20 minutes, giving the rice time to soften and soak up most of the liquid.
07 -
Fluff the rice gently, taste, and add more seasoning if you want. If you're adding cheese, sprinkle it on top, let it melt, then serve it up.
