Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Course: Main Course
Keyword: Unstuffed Pepper

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 - 3 large green peppers, cut into chunks
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 2 1/2 cup fully cooked rice

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef and onions in a large skillet. Drain. Add carrots and green peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes. You want the peppers to stay somewhat crunchy.
  • Stir in tomato sauce, water, Italian seasoning and cumin. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in cooked rice until heated through. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Serve and enjoy. (Or refrigerate and reheat in oven or microwave just before serving.)

Notes

Leftovers of this work great as a burrito filling. Add some chili powder, more cumin and cayenne pepper, roll up in a tortilla and you’re all set.
