Notes
- If you like the bitter contrast with the sweet tang of the tomato sauce, use the green pepper. If you prefer a sweeter pepper, I recommend the red pepper (it will also match the red tomato sauce, blending it in for those picky eaters).
- Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Reheat the meat mixture in the electric skillet on medium heat or on the stove.
- Optional: Serve with crispy chips on the side.
