I'm constantly asked to make this tasty dish and why not? It is a hearty meal in itself, perfect for game day or when you don't want to spend all day in the kitchen. I will usually serve it with cheesy homemade garlic bread.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 green bell peppers, chopped
1 cup water
2 yellow onions, chopped
1 cup converted raw rice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
½ teaspoon hot sauce, or to taste
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until lightly browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard fat.
Transfer beef to a slow cooker. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, green bell peppers, water, onions, rice, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and hot sauce. Cook on High until rice is tender, about 3 hours. Serve in bowls and top with Cheddar cheese.

Cook's Notes:

You can use beef chuck or sirloin instead of ground beef, if desired.

This can also be cooked on Low for 8 hours.
