Servings: persons

2 lbs lean ground beef, browned
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic (from the jar)
2 (15 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes (I used S&W ready cut diced with onion & green bell pepper)
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce, I use Prego Traditional
2 1/2 cups cooked long-grain rice
3 large green bell peppers, diced
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans beef consomme
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups V8 vegetable juice, as needed to bring the soup to desired consistency
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
additional sharp cheddar cheese (optional)

1
Brown the ground beef, onion and garlic in large pot or Dutch Oven.
2
Then add the chopped green bell pepper (I cut it up and place it in my food processor and give it a couple quick rotations - just enough to grind a bit of it, while still leaving some of it in larger pieces).
3
Cook until the pepper is starting to get tender. Add rest of the ingredients, except cheese and rice and bring to a slow boil over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
4
Decrease heat to a simmer and cover. Simmer slowly for 30 minutes, stirring often. Add the rice and cook another 15 minutes, stirring and watching carefully. This soup can get pretty thick in a short amount of time.
5
Add 1 cup of the cheese and stir until melted. Sprinkle individual servings with a little bit more of shredded cheddar (either mild or sharp) cheese.
6
Note: I put the stewed tomatoes in my food processor and pulse them for a couple quick rotations before adding them to the soup pot.
