- Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, diced tomatoes, rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
- Add Cheese: Stir in half of the shredded cheese until melted.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
