Unstuffed Bell Peppers

Unstuffed Bell Peppers

I LOVE stuffed bell peppers and have found a way to enjoy them, without the fuss of stuffing the little buggers.

Wanna make them, too? Cool! Well here's what you'll need:

1 onion

2 bell peppers

1 tablespoon of minced garlic

1.5 pounds of ground beef

3 teaspoons of basil

1 teaspoon of oregano

1 teaspoon of pepper

1 can of stewed tomatoes

2 tablespoons of tomato paste

1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

First, put about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Then you'll need to dice the onion and bell pepper (add the tablespoon of minced garlic as well) and then simmer them in the skillet, covered, until they're as soft as you like them. 

When that's done, add the ground beef, breaking it up just a bit. Don't mince it of tho; you want it to be kinda chunky.

Along with the ground beef, add the basil, oregano and pepper.

cover and cook (flipping occasionally) until the meat is browned.

When the meat has been browned, drain the grease from the skillet.

Next, add the can of stewed tomatoes. I add mine by hand, squishing a couple at a time into the skillet, to break them up. I also don't add the liquid from the can; I just allow what comes out when I added the tomatoes. Then add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and the 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and a bit more pepper.

Now mix that up and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.

This make 4 servings :)

Enjoy!
