Western Steak Skillet

1

In a large skillet, brown ground beef; drain and set aside in bowl. (Delete this step if using cooked flank steak.)
2

Sauté rice-vermicelli mix with margarine over medium heat until vermicelli is golden brown, stirring frequently.
3

Stir in water, roasted peppers, seasoning mix and Italian herb blend. Cover, simmer 15-20 min. or until rice is tender.
4

While rice mixture cooks, melt remaining 2 Tbsp. margarine over medium-high heat in skillet used for beef. Add onions and cook until golden brown, about 12-13 min.
5

Uncover rice mixture and stir in beef and onions. Top with cheese and parsley, if desired. Let sit 2-3 min. to warm through and melt cheese.
