This Stuffed Pepper Skillet has all the classic flavors of traditional stuffed peppers — but made easier in one pan. Lean ground meat is simmered with bell peppers, garlic, and savory seasonings, then combined with rice and a rich tomato base for a hearty, balanced meal. It’s a high-protein, veggie-packed dinner that’s perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or feeding the whole family. You’ll get all the comfort of stuffed peppers without the extra prep or baking time.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1.5 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 bell peppers, diced (any color works – we typically use 2 red and 1 green bell pepper)
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup long grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 1 cup beef bone broth
  • 1 (15-oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with the juices
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. To a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion and olive oil. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes or until the onion begins to turn translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute.
  2. Add the ground beef. Break up the meat as it cooks. After about 10 minutes, the beef should be browned.
  3. Add the seasonings and bell pepper, sauteing for another few minutes.
  4. Add the tomato paste, rice beef broth, and tomatoes. Stir once, then allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and turn the heat to low. Allow the mixture to simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender.
  5. Remove the lid and top with cheese. Place the lid back on and turn off the heat. The cheese should melt after a few minutes.
  6. Enjoy!
