Step 1
Lightly heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, until it’s no longer pink and nicely crumbly—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once cooked, drain off the fat and transfer the beef to your slow cooker.
Step 2
Add the tomatoes, tomato sauce, chopped green bell peppers, water, onions, rice, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and a splash of hot sauce to the slow cooker. Give everything a good stir to combine.
Step 3
Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook until the rice is tender, which usually takes around 3 hours. When it’s ready, scoop the rice into bowls and sprinkle some shredded Cheddar cheese on top for a melty finish. Enjoy!
Serving Recommendations
Serve this rice alongside grilled chicken, sautéed vegetables, or beans for a complete meal. It also works great as a base for burrito bowls or stuffed peppers. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime to brighten the flavors.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water to keep the rice moist. This rice also freezes well—thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
