Equipment

Ingredients

1 clove garlic
1 yellow onion
3 bell peppers
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey
½ 5 ounce package turkey pepperoni, cut into bite sized pieces
1 15 oz. can Italian diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth
1 15 oz. can pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Mince the garlic and dice the onion and bell pepper.
Add the olive oil and ground beef to a large skillet. Cook the beef over medium heat until it is fully browned.
Drain the fat from the meat.
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, basil, and pepper to the pan. Continue to cook and stir until the onions are soft.
Next, add the diced tomatoes (with juices), pizza sauce and beef broth and turkey pepperoni. Stir to combine.
Place a lid on the skillet and turn the heat up to medium-high. Allow the broth to come up to a full boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and let it continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the cooked rice.
Sprinkle with mozzarella. Let sit 5 minutes or until the rice has heated through and mozzarella has melted. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Feel free to use Italian Seasoning or Oregano in place of the Basil in this recipe. Any of them will work great.

You can omit the cheese to make this recipe dairy-free.

Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
