One Pot Wonder Stuffed Pepper Skillet

One Pot Wonder Stuffed Pepper Skillet combines ground beef, rice, bell peppers, tomatoes, and Italian seasonings into a single skillet dish. The ground beef is browned before adding rice and aromatic vegetables, then cooked with tomato sauce and broth until the rice is tender. Topped with melted Italian cheese blend, this skillet meal offers a hearty, flavorful blend reminiscent of stuffed peppers without the use of actual peppers as vessels.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, break up the beef with a wooden spoon. Cook until no pink remains, about 8 minutes. Drain the excess fat.
  2. Add the rice to the cooked beef. Cook until the rice is golden brown (2-3 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the cheese. Stir well. Bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cover the skillet.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. It will take 20-25 minutes for white rice and 40-45 minutes for brown rice.
  5. Top with cheese. Cover the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
