Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 bell peppers diced
  • 1 jalapeño dice (leave the seeds in for added spice)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • 14 ounce tomato sauce
  • 28 ounce fire roasted diced tomatoes

Instructions

  • Brown beef in a Dutch oven on the stovetop. Drain the meat, if you need to.
  • Add the chopped onions, peppers, and jalapeño. Add a small amount of olive oil, if the pan is too dry. Cook on medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until onions are translucent and peppers are softened.
  • Add garlic and stir for one minute. Next, add the seasonings, stir, and cook for one minute.
  • Add the tomato sauce, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and fire roasted tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer for at least 30-45 minutes stirring occasionally before serving.

Notes

  • If you or someone in your family would prefer this recipe with rice, it's easy to add quick cook rice to an individual bowl then top with soup.
  • You can use any color of bell peppers.
  • You can simmer this soup for 30 minutes, but I usually simmer for 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Since traditional stuffed peppers are usually topped with cheese, you can add cheddar or pepper jack cheese to the top of your soup bowl.
  • To cook in the crockpot, simply make as directed then add the soup to the crockpot before simmering. Cook on low for 3 hours.
