Prep 10 min · Cook 20 min

In a small saucepan, combine the rice, the water, and half the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice cooks, heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned. Done when opaque and cooked through, 160°F.
Add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and the rest of the salt to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the beef and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until well combined and heated through.
