Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes with mild green chiles, undrained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups instant brown rice
  • 1 medium sweet red pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium green pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

  1. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink,6-8 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain.
  2. Add tomatoes, broth, chili powder, salt and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Stir in rice and peppers. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle with cheese. Let stand, covered, until cheese is melted.

Can you freeze Beef & Pepper Skillet?

Before adding cheese, cool beef mixture. Freeze beef mixture and cheese separately in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add a little broth if necessary. Sprinkle with cheese.
