One Pot Unstuffed Pepper Skillet is a quick and easy weeknight dinner that captures all the flavors of classic stuffed peppers without the hassle. Made with ground beef, bell peppers, rice, and tomatoes in one pan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 bell peppers (red, green, yellow), diced
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in diced bell peppers and cook for another 3–4 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Add rice, diced tomatoes, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. If using, sprinkle with cheese and cover for 2 minutes to melt.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use brown rice for a whole grain option (adjust cook time accordingly).
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
