Growing up I HATED peppers. I would not eat onions, tomatoes or peppers at all. Thankfully since I got married, my wonderful husband has taught me that none of those are so bad. Stuffed peppers was something I always thought looked good but never made because I didn’t like peppers. It wasn’t until recently that I gave them a shot. This is my own person recipe combination, as with most recipes, you can add or subtract what you’d like.
Beef & Rice Stuffed Peppers
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 4 bell peppers(any color)
- 1 can corn(optional)
- 1 can kidney beans(optional)
- 1 package instant spanish rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- french fried onions(optional)
Preheat your oven to 350*
Brown your beef in a skillet. Drain.
While the beef is cooking, cut off the top of the pepper and scoop out the insides leaving a pepper “bowl”.
Add in the rice into the beef along with the amount of recommended water(should say on the back of the package)
While the rice is cooking add in the corn & beans.
When the rice is fully cooked, remove from heat & stuff into the peppers
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the peppers.
Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted & the peppers are hot. Remove from the oven & sprinkle with the french fried onions. Serve immediately.
Hope you enjoy!
