Ingredients

    1.5 lb ground beef
    .5 onion diced
    1 cup crushed tomatoes undrained
    1/3 cup white rice, uncooked
    1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
    1/2 tsp Basil
    1/2 cup water
    1 medium Red Pepper diced
    2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

On the stovetop, brown meat and 1/2 diced onion in an oven safe skillet (see note below). Drain grease.

Stir in tomatoes, 1/3 cup rice, diced red pepper, Worcestershire, basil, water, salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes until rice is tender.

Stir in half of the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese.

Bake in a 350-degree oven, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Note: if not using an oven safe skillet, prepare the rice mixture in a sauce pan and then pour into a casserole dish before baking in the oven.
