Ingredients

• 2 t. olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps

1. Heat a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat; add oil. When oil shimmers, add garlic; saute 1 minute. Add meatballs; cook 2-3 minutes. Add beef broth, rice, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Scrape up any browned bits.
2. Stir; turn heat to high to bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to low, maintaining a simmer. Cover. Simmer, covered for 15-20 minutes, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
3. When rice is completely cooked, remove skillet from heat. Stir in peas. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Cover until peas are warmed.
