One Pot Italian Beef and Rice

 A quick one pot meal from I Wash You Dry.

Ingredients:

1/2 onion, diced
1 lb. ground beef
15 oz diced tomatoes, canned
1 1/2 cups mixed veggies, peas and carrots
3/4 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups beef broth
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet until no longer pink, drain any excess fat.

Return skillet to stove top and add in the tomatoes, mixed veggies, rice, beef broth, oregano, garlic salt, basil and pepper. Stir until combined and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let cook until rice is tender - about 17 minutes.

Gently fluff rice with fork and top with mozzarella cheese. Cover with the lid for about 3 minutes to let cheese melt. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
