So, I love a one pot meal, easy cooking and easy clean up. This Stuffed Pepper Skillet is just that!
Let’s talk ingredients for a minute, I use Lean Ground Beef in pretty much everything I cook that calls for it. For one, it’s better for you and two you don’t have to worry about draining the beef at any point in your cooking.
I also suggest using fresh herbs whenever possible instead of dried. I typically measure out the dried in the recipes but fresh really do bring something better to the dish!
So, let’s get cooking. Use a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook the garlic and onion for a couple of minutes and then add in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Yes, I love garlic, so I using use fresh and the dried! 🙂
Add the bell peppers, after the ground beef has cooked for about 5 minutes. Let them cook for another 5 minutes, until they start to breakdown.
Now, add the can of diced tomatoes, the 90 second rice and the remaining spices. So, I chose the 90 second rice because it’s quick cooking. You can use other quick cooking rice but it may alter the cook times of the dish.
Let the tomatoes and rice cook for 10 minutes, then top with the mozzarella cheese. Continuing cooking until the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately! Hope you enjoy!
