Description
A simple, one-pot meal that tastes like stuffed peppers without the stuffing process.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup uncooked white rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground meat and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, green pepper, and red pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the uncooked white rice.
- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Check occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat. If using, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top and cover for 2 minutes until melted.
- Serve directly from the skillet.
Notes
- Use any color bell peppers you prefer.
- For a spicier flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
- You can substitute brown rice, but adjust the cooking time as needed.
