• 1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 2 assorted bell peppers, deseeded and diced
• 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can (14 oz) tomato sauce
• 3 cups rich beef broth
• 1 cup prepared rice (or, for a quicker version, opt for instant rice and add it in the last 30 mins of cooking)
• 1 tsp garlic salt
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Season with salt and pepper, as desired
• Optional: Shredded cheddar cheese, for that extra layer of indulgence

Instructions:

Effortlessly combine all ingredients, excluding the rice, into your slow cooker.

Secure the lid, setting your cooker to either a low simmer for 6-8 hours or a more rapid cook on high for 3-4 hours, until flavors harmoniously unite.
