Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add beef and cook, stirring often, until crumbed and browned, 8–10 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  3. Return skillet to medium heat and add olive oil and peppers. Cook, stirring often, until peppers have softened, 7–8 minutes.
  4. Return beef to the skillet along with the marinara and rice. Stir to combine and transfer to a 9x13 baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly.

Normally he doesn't like my cooking. I do the baking while he does the cooking. He really enjoyed this recipe. He actually had two servings. No ingredients were omitted. The instructions were clear and concise. I definitely will make this again.

As simple as the ingredients are for this recipe, I was surprised how good it was. I was also surprised how large the servings are.

Has anyone tried to freeze leftovers of this recipe? Any success?

This was delicious. I added mushrooms and used both yellow and red onions for extra veggies but I highly recommend making this. It was quick, filling, and delicious...

My husband and I both loved this! It was so easy, which was really nice, as well. We made the Brussels sprouts artichoke salad with it, great combo.
