Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 14 ounces no-salt-added diced tomatoes
Directions
Step 1
Start by chopping the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
Step 3
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped bell peppers to the skillet with the beef. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until the peppers are slightly softened.
Step 5
Add the ground black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme to the skillet, stirring to evenly coat the mixture.
Step 6
Pour in the no-salt-added diced tomatoes, including their juices, and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well blended and the peppers are tender.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat. Adjust seasoning with additional black pepper if needed and serve the dish warm.
