  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
– 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 cup long-grain rice
– 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes (with juices)
– 2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheese (optional for topping)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating One Pot Unstuffed Pepper Skillet is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Meat: Add ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, around 3 minutes.
4. Incorporate Peppers: Add chopped green and red bell peppers. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Mix in Spices: Sprinkle oregano, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the skillet. Stir to combine everything thoroughly.
6. Add Rice and Tomatoes: Pour in the rice and the can of diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir well to distribute.
7. Pour in Broth: Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil.
8. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and absorbs the liquid. Stir occasionally.
9. Check for Doneness: After 20 minutes, check the rice to ensure it’s tender. If it appears too dry, add a splash of water or broth.
10. Top with Cheese: If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top and cover for a few more minutes until the cheese is melted.
11. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
