Pork Cacciatore

Pork instead of chicken and rice instead of pasta gives a fun twist on Italian food.

1 T Olive oil
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped bell pepper
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (with liquid)
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2-3 pork loin chops cut into bite-sized pieces
Cooked white rice

Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced pork and cook ~7-8 minutes (I cook it until the pork looks pretty well cooked through). Add onion and bell pepper and cook for ~3 more minutes, stirring occasionally until veggies are softened. Stir in tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, sugar, salt and black pepper. Cover and simmer on medium low, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Serve with cooked rice.

  1. For just the two of us, making this recipe with 2 pork chops makes enough for dinner and leftovers for one person's lunch.
