We LOVE stuffed peppers. They are healthy, easy & easily adaptable. I was inspired out of sheer laziness to turn stuffed peppers into this skillet casserole. I don’t think I will turn back to the regular stuffed peppers for a very long time because this is GOOD.
Not So Stuffed Pepper Skillet
1/2 onion
4 bell peppers
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 pack ground beef
1 jar marinara (I use Rao’s)
2 tbsp worcheshire
1.5 cups rice
4 cups water
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried basil
Salt & pepper
Mozzarella
Fresh basil
In a skillet cook down your chopped onion & red peppers until tender. Add in the garlic & beef and cook through. Drain the fat then add in the marinara, worcheshire, rice, water, red pepper flakes, basil, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat until rice is cooked through. Stir often to make sure rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Cover the skillet in a LOT of mozzarella and place under the broiler until browned & bubbly. Serve with fresh chopped basil.
