  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 green bell peppers cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 can 28 oz crushed tomatoes

  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup long-grain white rice

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef for 7 minutes until no pink remains; drain excess fat.
  2. Add onion; cook 4 minutes. Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
  3. Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker; add peppers, both tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire, oregano, and salt.
  4. Cover; cook on low for 5 1/2 to 6 hours until peppers are tender but intact.
  5. Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Cover; cook over low heat about 15 minutes until tender.
  6. Fold rice into soup just before serving to keep grains distinct.
