Unstuffed Pepper Skillet

1 pound ground beef
1 clove garlic
1/2 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2-3 large green peppers, cut into chunks
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1/3 c. water
1 t. Italian seasoning
1/2 t. cumin
2 1/2 c. fully cooked rice

1. Brown ground beef ,garlic,and onions in a large skillet. Drain. Add carrots and green peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes. You want the peppers to stay somewhat crunchy.

2. Stir in tomato sauce, water, Italian seasoning and cumin. Bring to a slow boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

 Stir in cooked rice until heated through. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. 

* This was a quick easy dinner and a good way to use up those green peppers. My husband was not a huge fan cuz he doesn't really like green peppers but everyone else liked it. I would give it a 4 on the scale
