Ingredients

– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 large bell peppers, any color, chopped
– 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained

Instructions
Making One-Pot Unstuffed Pepper Skillet is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion softens, about 3 minutes.
3. Incorporate Peppers: Add the chopped bell peppers to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
4. Combine the Main Ingredients: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices), uncooked rice, broth, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
6. Final Touches: Once cooked, fluff the rice gently with a fork. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
7. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or basil if desired.
These clear steps will help you create a tasty One-Pot Unstuffed Pepper Skillet in no time, leaving you more time to relax and enjoy your meal.
