Add the beef, onion, and garlic to a large skillet set over medium heat. Cook, stirring and breaking apart, until the beef's completely browned and crumbled. Drain off the grease, then return the skillet to heat.
1 lb ground beef, 1 small yellow onion, 2 tbsp minced garlic
Add the sauce, peppers, rice, broth, and seasonings to the beef mixture. Stir everything together to evenly combine, and bring the mixture to a boil.
1 15 oz can tomato sauce, 2 large green bell peppers, 3/4 cup jasmine rice, 2 cups beef broth, 2 tsp dried oregano, salt & pepper
Immediately reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender- about 12-15 minutes.
Stir the mixture, gently fluffing the rice. Remove the skillet from heat, and sprinkle the cheese evenly out overtop. Cover and let rest just until the cheese has melted.
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
Serve warm & enjoy!

You can change the spices to suit your tastes. For example, for a southwestern spin, you could trade the oregano for cumin and chili powder.
It doesn't really matter if you use green bell peppers or red or yellow. The green bell peppers will be less sweet while the red peppers are super mellow and sweet. Any kind that is on sale or that you have in your garden will work.
While we prefer sharp cheddar, this is also delicious with provolone, mozzarella, or Parmesan cheese.
