Instructions

Tip
To reduce dishes, you can also cook the beef and vegetables in an oven-safe skillet. When the beef is browned, simply top with cheese and place into the oven.
Using both red and green peppers adds flavor, but if you prefer, you can just use one or the other.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
