5. 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
6. 1 large red pepper, sliced
7. 1 large green pepper, sliced
8. 1 large zucchini, sliced
9. 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juice
10. 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
11. 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
12. 1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
13. salt and pepper
14. 1 cup beef broth
15. 3/4-1 cup uncooked rice
16. parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until softened, 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the beef and Worcestershire sauce and cook, stirring until browned on all sides.
3. Add the red and green peppers and zucchini and cook until softened, 3 minutes more.
4. Add both cans of tomatoes, italian seasoning, chili flakes and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook partially covered for 2 hours or until meat is tender. The mixture should be bubbling gently. Stir occasionally.
