Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Step 2
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain off the excess grease. Set aside.
- Step 3
In the prepared dish, whisk together the broth, tomato sauce, garlic, soy sauce, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Step 4
Stir in the uncooked rice, onion, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
- Step 5
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the rice is almost done, but still a little bit firm. Be careful that you don't overcook the rice or it will become mushy. Use a fork to fluff the rice. Gently stir in the ground beef. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Step 6
Return to the oven, uncovered, just until the cheese melts and the rice is perfectly tender, about 5-10 minutes.
- Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
