Brown the ground meat in a large pot over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it up as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot; sauté until softened.
Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
Add the canned tomatoes, broth, rice, and Italian seasoning; stir well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed before serving.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
