Sloppy Joe Skillet

The other night was one of those nights where I kept asking myself "What's for supper?" Of course I am asking this as I didn't do my weekly meal plan. Why haven't I done this plan? I really do not know. I just got really busy after returning home from the conference and didn't plan last week or this week. I will have to get back into the routine for next week.

I had ground beef on hand and thought I would love something with it. I was looking for quick, easy and something the kids would enjoy. I headed over to Kraft Canada and entered that the ingredients I had on hand. I found Sloppy Joe Skillet. It was simple and quick to make. I put it on a bed of rice and everyone enjoyed.

Sloppy Joe Skillet (adapted from Kraft Canada)

1 pkg. (120 g) Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 cup hot water
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 can (28 oz) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1/2 cup garlic BBQ sauce
1/4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing
2 tsp. chili powder

1. Mix stuffing mix and hot water just until moistened; set aside. Meanwhile, brown meat in large skillet; drain.

2. Add peppers, tomatoes with their liquid, ketchup, dressing and chili powder to skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Simmer 5 min. or until peppers are crisp-tender.
3. TOP with prepared stuffing. Cover; simmer 3 min.

While I was making this I boiled 2 cups of water and added one cup of long grain rice; reduce heat to simmer medium-low; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

This is a quick and easy meal to make especially if you are in a hurry. It is my kids approved also :)
