In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
1 pound Ground Beef
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
1 Small Onion, ½ cup Bell Pepper, 3 cloves Garlic
Sprinkle in the paprika, oregano, thyme, dill, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, allowing the spices to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
2 teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano, 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme, ½ teaspoon Dill, ¾ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
Add the uncooked rice, beef broth, beef base, diced tomatoes (with their juice), hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and coleslaw mix to the skillet. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
1 14.5-ounce can Diced Tomatoes, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce, 2 teaspoon Hot Sauce, ½ teaspoon Sugar, ½ cup Rice, 2 ½ cup Beef Broth, 1 teaspoon Beef Base, 4 cups Coleslaw Mix
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Once the rice is cooked, sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese (if using) over the top. Cover the skillet again and let the cheese melt for about 3-5 minutes.
½ cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese, ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese
Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
