This is very good, I double it and add different tomatoes sometimes. The family loves it and it is so easy.

My mom made a recipe like this when I was growing up, except she used diced zucchini instead of green peppers. This was very good! And you can use regular rice if you don't have instant - just simmer for 20 extra minutes or until the rice is done. I love this with parmesean cheese sprinkled on top.

Very good recipe! After I cut the peppers and onions and already had the meat browned I realized I didn't have any rice! When I combined the water, peppers, onions, tomatoes and seasonings I added an extra 1/2 cup of water and a 1/4 box of ziti noodles and softly boiled uncovered (to evaporate the some of the water) for about 15 minutes until the noodles were done and then added the meat. Only other variation I made to this was to melt mild shredded cheddar over the top.
