Ingredients

  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 4 bell peppers, chopped (see notes)
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes, not drained
  • 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 32 oz beef broth
  • 2 tbs brown sugar
  • 1 tbs Italian seasoning
  • kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups white rice, cooked
  • parmesan cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent. 
  • Add the ground beef and sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned, crumbling as it cooks. Add the onions, garlic, ground beef, and sausage to a 6 quart slow cooker.
  • Add the bell peppers, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  • 30 minutes prior to when you'd like to eat, add the white rice to the slow cooker.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded parmesan cheese.

Notes

Notes: I like to cut the bell peppers into big chunks so that they don't disintegrate into the soup while they cook. Use whatever color bell peppers that you'd like.
