Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
8 ounces mini sweet peppers, sliced crosswise (about 10 peppers, mixed colors)
-
1 cup chopped yellow onion
-
1 pound lean ground sirloin (90/10)
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
-
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
¼ cup water
-
3 tablespoons hot cherry pepper hoagie spread (such as Cento)
-
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 (8.8 ounce) package microwavable white rice (such as Uncle Ben’s), crumbled
-
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peppers and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add beef and cook, stirring to crumble, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Season with garlic and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce, water, hoagie spread, and salt.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in rice until coated evenly with sauce. Cover, reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer, and cook until rice and vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes, stirring once halfway through to prevent sticking.
