Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 3/4 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 20 frozen cooked Italian meatballs (about 10 oz.)
  • 1 (2 1/4-oz.) can sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise, sliced
  • 1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, undrained
  • 2 oz. (1/2 cup) crumbled feta cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently.
  • 2
    Add rice, bell pepper, meatballs, olives and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.
  • 3
    Stir in zucchini and tomatoes. Cover; cook an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until zucchini is tender and liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with cheese.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Look for frozen meatballs in the grocery store's freezer case; use plain or Italian-seasoned meatballs. Cut large meatballs in half or in quarters before use.
  • tip 2
    Use Parmesan cheese in place of the feta; shred and measure 1/2 cup.
  • tip 3
    For extra Mediterranean flavor, prepare this recipe with sliced, pitted kalamata olives.
