Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef (browned and drained) for hearty protein and the traditional stuffed pepper filling flavor
– ½ onion (diced) for savory depth in the soup base
– 1 red bell pepper (diced) for sweetness and color
– 1 green bell pepper (diced) for fresh pepper flavor and extra veggies
– 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz) for tangy body and helping form the soup base
– 1 can tomato sauce (14 oz) for thickening the broth and rounding out the flavor
– 1 teaspoon oregano for classic stuffed pepper seasoning
– 1 teaspoon garlic salt for savory garlic flavor and balanced seasoning
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for umami richness that makes the soup taste deeper
– ½ teaspoon pepper for warmth and mild heat to round out the flavors
– 3 cups beef broth for a well-balanced liquid base
– 2 cups cooked white rice for the “stuffed” texture and turning it into a full meal
Instructions
1-First Step: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Break it up as it cooks, until fully cooked with no pink remaining, then drain excess grease.
2-Second Step: In the crockpot, add the browned beef, diced onion, diced red bell pepper, and diced green bell pepper. Stir so the beef and vegetables mix evenly.
3-Third Step: Add the diced tomatoes (14 oz can) and tomato sauce (14 oz can). Pour in 3 cups beef broth, then stir again to combine the tomato base with the liquid.
4-Fourth Step: Season the soup with oregano, garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Stir once more, then cover with the lid.
5-Fifth Step: Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. This is when the soup becomes fragrant and flavorful as everything simmers together.
6-Final Step: Stir in 2 cups cooked white rice during the last 15 to 20 minutes, or right before serving if your rice is already warm. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve hot.
