I never would have guessed that this stuffed pepper skillet dish would have been such a hit with my family, but it was. It is another new favorite meal.
My family would never eat a stuffed pepper. They would eat the filling and leave the pepper. However, this dish takes the filling and add in some diced peppers. The small amount of peppers you use in this dish was much better received by my family. This stuffed pepper skillet dish was loved the night I made it and the left overs were equally loved.
Now I made this dish in a skillet, but you can also be make it in the Instant Pot. I plan to try that method the next time I make it. The skillet method is ready in about 40 minutes. The Instant Pot version should take about 35 minutes.
To make this is the skillet you begin by browning the beef in the skillet with the onion and red pepper. Drain off any excess grease and mix in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Next you add in some beef broth, rice, Ro*tel, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring everything to a boil. Then cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Once the rice is cooked, you can remove the skillet from the heat. Then sprinkle the stuffed pepper skillet dish with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted. Then it’s ready to serve.
