Unstuffed Pepper Skillet

You are all aware of my affinity for skillet cooking. One of the most popular dishes on my website is a skillet supper, which I like making. The easiest dishes to prepare in 30 minutes with only one pan are my favorites. I'm on a constant hunt for the ideal skillet. A significant obstacle while cooking in a pan is figuring out the right temperature. I can't wait to tell you all there is to know about T-fal's newest headmaster collection because of this!

They provide three cooking enhancements, and a well heated pan is essential. Integrated sapphire-infused nonstick, a unique stainless steel base with enhanced heat distribution, and thermal spot technology are all incorporated. I like that this pan has three layers of scratch-resistant, sapphire-reinforced nonstick coating. Nothing is sticking to the pan as I cook! It's also quite simple to clean!

What is an Unstuffed Pepper Skillet?

Unstuffed Pepper Skillet

An unstuffed pepper skillet combines all the best aspects of a stuffed bell pepper into one simple dish. Combine rice, cheddar, bell peppers, onions, and tomato sauce with ground beef for a tasty family supper.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • 8 ounces of small sweet peppers, cut crosswise (approximately 10 peppers in various hues).
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion.
  • One pound lean ground sirloin (90/10)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic.
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning.
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce.
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons spicy cherry pepper hoagie spread (e.g., Cento).
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 (8.8 ounce) container of crumbled microwaveable white rice (e.g., Uncle Ben's).
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheese mix.
  • Add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or flat-leaved parsley.

Directions

Step 1

Heat the oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Simmer for approximately 4 minutes, stirring now and again, or until the peppers and onion are soft. Simmer until the meat is nicely browned, approximately 5 minutes, stirring regularly to break it up. Add the garlic and Italian spice, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Mix in the tomato sauce, water, hoagie spread, and salt.

Step 2

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the rice is well covered in sauce, add it and stir. Reduce the heat to medium, put a lid on, and simmer for around 8 minutes, stirring once at the halfway point to avoid sticking.

Step 3

Remove the lid, put it back on, and top it with the shredded cheese. Recover and let it rest when the cheese has melted, which should happen in a minute or two. Serve hot, garnished with basil or parsley.
