Unstuffed Pepper Skillet

I love stuffed peppers, but hate the hassle of making them.  This is a great way to enjoy the taste without the hassle.  It is basically my stuffed pepper recipe tweaked a little so it can be worked into an easy weeknight skillet meal.

Unstuffed Pepper Skillet
2 Green or Red Peppers, seeded and diced
1/2 Large Red Onion, diced
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 lb Ground Beef
1/2 cup Long Grain Rice, uncooked
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 TBS Worcestershire Sauce
2 Cups Low Sodium Original V8

• Brown the ground beef, seasonings, and onion in a large skillet until cooked and no longer pink then drain the grease
• Add vegetable juice, Worcestershire, garlic, and rice bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes
• Stir in green pepper, cover, and cook for 10 minutes or until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed

See nothing to it!  Now I can enjoy one of my favorite dishes any night of the week :)

Not to mention this is really low in fat, low calorie, and loaded with great vitamins and nutrients.  You could probably make it better by using ground turkey too!
