Unstuffed Bell Peppers

You know those days where your husband is working late, the kids have been NOT on their best behavior :) and mama you are just spent? Dinner is the last thing on your mind??! Days like that are tough and nobody wants to cook..I try my best to come up with healthy, flavorful but most of all SIMPLE recipes so that busy mamas can have a balanced meal on the table for their littles and husbands. Tonight's dinner is one of those where I am spent..I don't feel like being a gourmet chef and I just need something quick. 

ALAS my one pot UNSTUFFED Bell Peppers will make an appearance. 

This is actually a keto adapted recipe that I made my own and tweaked it to delight my family's way of eating. You can add an extra veggie or take out what you dislike. The choice is yours!!!

Unstuffed Bell Peppers

Ingredients:

1 deep and large pan or Cast iron skillet

1 lb grass-fed organic ground beef ( turkey is an option too)

1 lb pork sausage

2-3 bell peppers ( red, orange, and yellow)

1 can rotel

one yellow onion

small can tomato sauce

Method:

In a pan over medium heat up two tablespoons of olive oil. Once the olive oil is hot add in the onion and cook until almost soft. Next add in your ground beef and pork sausage ( pork is optional) and seasonings ( salt and pepper and italian seasoning) Then add in the bell peppers. Cook peppers until soft and fragrant..add in your rotel and 1/2 cup tomato sauce ( I used marinara). Cook down for about 5-7 minutes.
