Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat:

    • In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.

  2. Sauté the Veggies:

    • Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. Add Broth & Tomatoes:

    • Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar.
    • Stir and bring to a boil.

  4. Simmer the Soup:

    • Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.

  5. Add the Rice:

    • Stir in cooked rice and let heat through for 5 minutes.

  6. Serve & Enjoy!

    • Ladle into bowls and top with cheese or parsley, if desired.

Notes

✔ Make It Low-Carb: Use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice.
✔ Slow Cooker Option: Brown the beef first, then add everything (except rice) to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Stir in cooked rice before serving.
✔ Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
