Instructions
Creating the One Pot Unstuffed Pepper Skillet involves a straightforward process, which can be easily followed:
1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Meat: Add the ground beef (or alternative) and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped bell peppers. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to soften the peppers.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Simmer: Lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and flavors meld together.
7. Cheesy Finish: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the skillet, cover, and allow the cheese to melt for about 3-5 minutes.
8. Garnish: Once the cheese has melted, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
