How to Make Unstuffed Pepper Skillet

1. Sauté the onions, peppers, and garlic. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper.
2. Add the beef to the same skillet and cook, while breaking the meat up until browned, about 7-9 minutes.
3. Microwave the rice. Follow the package directions- usually, you open a little and then microwave for 90 seconds.
4. Stir the rice into the skillet with the tomatoes and spices. You could also serve with rice on the bottom and layer the beef and peppers on top. Or for a lower carb version, serve with cauliflower rice.
5. Finally, sprinkle with cheese and serve!
