Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 pound Beyond Beef plant-based ground
  • 2 medium bell peppers of your choice (yellow, red, orange, or green) - chopped into 1/2 inch pieces (about 2 heaping cups)
  • 1 - 14.5 ounce can no salt added diced tomatoes
  • 1 - 8 ounce can no salt added tomato sauce
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth or water
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice (Feel free to choose a vegan option if you’d like. We love using cheddar cheese but you could also use pepper jack, monterey jack, gouda, mozzarella cheese, italian five cheese blend, or mexican blend.)
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium pot or large saute pan (with tight fitting lid) over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the Beyond Beef to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it’s browned, stirring occasionally for about 6-8 minutes.
  • Stir in the diced bell peppers, diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato sauce, rice, vegetable broth or water, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low to bring it to a simmer. Cover the pot or pan with a lid and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or according to the rice package instructions.
  • Remove from the heat, then give it a good stir. Sprinkle cheese on top of the cooked mixture, cover with a lid again, and let the cheese melt for 3-5 minutes.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
