Ever so often when I was growing up my mother would make stuffed peppers. I remember her cooking up rice, ground beef, and stewed tomatoes in a skillet, stuffing that funky mixture inside of green bell peppers and cooking them in the oven. I wouldn't touch them, and probably ate peanut butter and jelly on those nights. Ha! Boy, have my taste buds changed. Thank goodness.
Now, I know that cooking stuffed peppers doesn't take all that long to begin with, but it's me, Joanna, and hello - I LOOOOVE One Pan Meals! You know those meals that you throw in one pan and cook that stuff up, and only have ONE pan to wash when you're all done! My kind of cooking, and from all the comments I've received, it seems to be y'alls kind of meals too. Let's hear it for one pan meals!! (crowd goes wild!)
This is a One Pot Stuffed Pepper Skillet. No more stuffing peppers. No more cooking on the stove, pot, oven and whatever else it takes to get this meal done and on the table. This one is ready in about 40 minutes, and that's IF you have to chop up all of those bell peppers and onions. You can always, and sometimes I do, buy those pre-cut bad boys.

This is SO much easier than actually stuffing the peppers! Plus you get the peppers evenly distributed throughout the dish rather than taking huge bites of pepper. I love this idea for a busy night!

Ha, I didn't even really think of the actual stuffing the peppers process! 🙂 It's the perfect recipe for a busy night!

Erin @ The Speckled Palate says
Like you, there's NO WAY I would've touched a stuffed pepper growing up. I avoided them in college, too, and the cooks at my sorority house made them once a week! Looking back on that now, I'm sad because they're SO GOOD.
I love how you've taken the stuffed pepper and made it into a skillet. So easy! So delicious! So perfect for a weeknight meal! Definitely gonna be trying this out soon!
Joanna says
Isn't it funny how we look back on foods like that and think, "if only I would have tried that!" Let me know how you like it! 🙂
