Use this thread to submit your recipes for the TCG Cookbook. I'll keep this open for a month and if people are still wanting to submit recipes after that, I'll extend it. Pictures help too, if possible
To start, I made this the other night and then portioned out the leftovers for lunch for the week. I used ground turkey instead, a garlic flavored spaghetti sauce and some shredded mozz cheese as a topping.

Un-Stuffed Pepper Skillet
Yield: About 7-8 cups
Ingredients
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1½ cups chopped onion (from about half of a large onion)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
â…› teaspoon black pepper
1 24-ounce jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
ÂĽ cup water
1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Frank's Red Hot) (see note)
4 cups cooked brown rice (see note)
1½ - 2 cups green pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces (from 1 large or two small green peppers)
additional hot sauce for serving
Preparation
Preheat a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat and add beef, onion, garlic, salt and black pepper. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through, stirring to crumble. Drain if needed (although if using very lean beef, you likely won't need to.)
Add spaghetti sauce, using water to swish the residual sauce out of the jar.
Add hot sauce. Cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Add rice and green peppers, cooking just until peppers are hot and crisp-tender.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately, passing additional hot sauce as desired.
