  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • as needed Olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
  2. Add the ground meat and cook until browned.
  3. Stir in the chopped bell peppers and cook for about 5 minutes until they are tender.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, cooked rice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy your hassle-free dinner!

Notes

Use pre-cooked rice to save time. Brown the meat well for more flavor. If peppers are still firm, cover the pan and simmer a few minutes longer. Taste and adjust salt and pepper at the end. Use a mix of pepper colors for a nicer look and flavor.
