In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion and minced garlic until the beef is no longer pink and cooked through; drain excess grease.
Add diced pepper, salt, pepper, oregano, and Italian seasoning. Cook 5 minutes longer until the peppers become soft.
Reduce heat to medium and stir in diced tomatoes, beef broth, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Stir and heat to boiling.
Add in the uncooked rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover with lid and let simmer for 25 minutes stirring every 5-10 minutes.
When rice is tender, sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Serve immediately from the pan.
