This Unstuffed Green Pepper Recipe is my favorite cold weather dish! It’s probably the only dish I make consistently that I can’t mess up. When I first started making this dish, it was traditional Stuffed Green Peppers and it takes about an hour longer than making them “unstuffed”. But, then I became a mom and had much less time to dedicate to cooking food for myself. AND, on top of saving time, it’s less clean up because it is a one pot unstuffed green pepper recipe. Yay for less dishes!
The rice mix I use is already seasoned it’s just a bit spicy. Blaire likes it, and she’s only 3.5, so don’t worry — it’s not too spicy.
One Pot Unstuffed Green Peppers
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 2 Green Peppers
- 8 oz box of Zatarin’s Jambalaya Rice Mix
- 8 oz Tomato Sauce
- 14.5 oz Diced Tomatoes
- 2.5 cups Water
Instructions
-
Brown ground beef. Keep in mind that you’ll eventually have all of your ingredients in this pan, so it should be large.
-
While you’re browning the ground beef, dice your green peppers.
-
Once ground beef is browned, drain the fat. Then add in the diced green peppers, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water, and rice mix. Bring this mixture to a boil. Once it’s boiling, cover, turn your heat to low, and cook for 25 minutes.

Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
