Ingredients
  

  • olive oil, as needed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 bell peppers, any color, diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 500 grams ground beef, or ground pork, (1 lb)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, or whole, chopped, with juice, 565 g can
  • cups chicken stock, fresh or from powder
  • 1 cup tomato sauce, Shortcut
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 cup cheese, Cheddar, Edam, or Jack, shredded
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • spring onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Garlic, peppers, and onion prepped. Reserve some of the diced bell peppers to sprinkle on top for garnish if desired.
  • Saute peppers, onions, and garlic in a splash of olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • Once the peppers and onions have started to soften, increase heat to medium high and add the ground beef to the pan, season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the ground beef is cooked through, drain off excess fat.
  • Then add the chicken broth, can of diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Stir together.
  • Bring the tomato mixture up to a simmer, then stir in one cup of uncooked rice. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let mixture cook 20-30 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  • At the 20 minute mark, start stirring the pan occasionally so the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan. One rice is tender, sprinkle the cheese on top.
  • Cover the pan with the lid to let the cheese melt.
  • Spoon onto plates, garnish with fresh diced bell peppers and green onions if desired, serve.

Notes

The beef would cost about 100 Baht/500 grams. For 4 servings, this is about 75 cents per serving.
Shortcut: Tomato Sauce.

    I made this on 1 July 2018, easy and delicious! I used about 750 grams (1 1/2 lbs) of ground pork, and forgot the tomato sauce, but the tomato juice and chopped tomatoes, perfect. Well liked by the family. On my Go-To list now, this is a keeper.
