  3. Stir in rice, tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, broth, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium-high.

Notes

You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. Add extra veggies like zucchini or mushrooms for added nutrition and flavor. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
