Ingredients

• 3 cups water
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
• 1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces, drained
• 2 (10 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, bell peppers, and onion in the hot pot until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

Step 3

Pour broth and tomato soup into the pot; add crushed tomatoes and mushroom pieces. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer soup, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

Stir cooked rice into soup, breaking clumps into individual grains; cook until rice is hot, about 5 minutes.
