Steps

1Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off excess fat and set aside.
2Add the EVOO to the skillet and cook the onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and garlic until soft, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
3Add the beef and sausage back to the pan and stir to combine.
4Add the undrained tomatoes, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and add the rice.
5Cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed.
6Remove from the heat, sprinkle with cheese, cover, and let it sit until the cheese has melted.
7Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired.
