You’ll need a few basic ingredients for this quick and easy dish. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Ground beef– I use ground beef, but you could also use stew meat if you prefer.
• Onion– Yellow onions really bring out the flavor in this casserole. Be sure to dice it up.
• Bell pepper– I used a red bell pepper, but you could use green, yellow, or orange as well. Keep in mind different colors will yield different flavors.
• Minced garlic– I used 3 garlic cloves and minced them. You could use 1 tablespoon of jarred minced garlic instead.
• Diced tomatoes and green chilies– To make this casserole quick and easy, use 1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, but don’t drain the can.
• Beef broth or stock– Although you could use water, broth or stock adds more flavor to your dish.
• Worcestershire sauce– This sauce adds a caramel-y flavor, but it’s also good for tenderizing your beef.
• Shredded cheese– I used shredded cheddar cheese, but you could use any shredded cheese you prefer.
• Rice– I used long grain rice for this recipe. If you use another type of rice, cooking times may vary.
• Spices– Season this casserole with salt and pepper.
• Parsley– Garnish the casserole with fresh parsley if you choose
