Just like the old fashioned pepper steak Mom used to make, with a vegan twist and some healthier rice. While I don't eat Morningstar Farms products very often, this makes a nice change of pace once in a while and couldn't be easier to throw together.

Ingredients

1 8oz pkg Morningstar Steak Strips
1 medium bell pepper
1 medium onion
2 Tbsp ketchup
1 1/2 cup cooked brown rice

Instructions
Brush a large regular skillet with grapeseed oil. Saute onion & pepper till tender. Add steak strips and saute till heated thru, using veggie broth to deglaze pan as needed. Mix the ketchup w/equal parts water and add at the last minute.Serve over hot brown rice.

easy red beans & rice

While DD is pretty much fully recovered, things here are a bit chaotic still. So I wanted a no-brainer dinner that was quick & easy. To complete this meal I'm serving it with a side of roasted baby carrots and some unsweetened applesauce.
