Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes  |  Cook: 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high  |  Total: 4 hours 15 minutes  |  Difficulty: easy  |  Make-Ahead: yes, can be made a day in advance

Steps to Make It

1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant.
2. Add the chopped bell peppers and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes.
3. In a slow cooker, combine the sautéed vegetables, ground meat, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. The rice should be tender and the flavors melded.
5. Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. The aroma will have you drooling.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy the comforting warmth!

Make It Perfect

• For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
• Common mistake: cooking the rice separately. It absorbs flavors better when cooked in the soup.
• If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the broth by 1 cup.
• Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking in the slow cooker.

Mix It Up

• Add black beans for extra protein and fiber.
• Use quinoa instead of rice for a lighter option.
• Incorporate seasonal veggies like zucchini or corn for a festive twist.

Perfect Partners

• Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
• Pair with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
• Enjoy with a glass of red wine for a cozy evening.
