Can I substitute a different meat?
You could absolutely substitute a different type of meat. You could use Ground Sausage, Kielbasa, Ground Turkey or Ground Pork.
What type of peppers should I use?
I use bell peppers. I have used just green peppers, but at times, I like to switch it up and add in some yellow pepper, red pepper and orange pepper.
Can I use some vegetables other than peppers?
There is no reason you could not. Zucchini, mushrooms, or eggplant all make a great substitutes.
Do I need two skillets?
You could use two skillets or just one large skillet. I like easy so I use one large and that way all the flavor stays together.
What type of Rice should I use for this dish?
There are many types that you could choose from, jasmine, Basmati, or long grain. I prefer to use long-grain rice. It just works best for me.
Could I use Cauliflower rice instead of long grain?
Yes, that is a great choice and will make the dish a little healthier also. With the similar texture, it is difficult to tell the difference between long-grain or Cauliflower rice.
