  3. Combine the beef and onion in the slow cooker along with bell peppers, black beans, beef stock, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or LOW for 8+ hours until the peppers are tender.
  5. Cook the rice according to package instructions about 30 minutes before serving.
  6. Serve the soup over the rice in bowls, stirring gently to combine.
