Instructions

In a Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and season with salt and pepper.
Add diced onions and chopped bell peppers to the same pot, sautéing until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic for another 30 seconds.
Combine cooked beef with diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, sugar (if using), and Italian seasoning. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
Stir in cooked rice and parsley if not saving for leftovers. Simmer until heated through.
