1-First Steps: Begin by mincing the garlic and dicing the onion and bell peppers. In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the ground beef until it's browned, which takes about 5 minutes. This step builds a solid flavor foundation for the whole dish.

2-Building the Flavor: Next, add the onion, bell peppers, garlic, dried basil, oregano, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook until the onions soften, about 5 more minutes. Then, mix in the diced tomatoes with their juices, uncooked rice, and beef broth for that perfect, hearty mix.

3-Simmer and Finish: Cover the skillet and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower to a low simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest with the lid on for 5 minutes to let the flavors settle. In the meantime, stir together the tomato sauce and Worcestershire sauce. After resting, fluff the rice, fold in the sauce mixture, sprinkle on the mozzarella cheese, cover to melt it, and garnish with parsley if you like.
