Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, brown the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until cooked through.
