To create this delightful dish, you’ll need a handful of everyday ingredients, many of which might already be in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 500g of ground beef
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

- Optional: a pinch of cinnamon (because why not?)
Instructions
Let’s get cooking, shall we? Here’s how to bring this comforting dish to life:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper, cooking for another 3 minutes until the pepper begins to soften.
- Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon (they really are the best, aren’t they?) until browned and cooked through.
- Sprinkle in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. If you’re feeling adventurous, add a pinch of cinnamon for a warm, aromatic twist.
- Add the can of diced tomatoes, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the cooked rice, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
- Serve your ground beef bowl warm, garnished with fresh cilantro.
