So I've never had stuffed peppers before. They always seemed too much work or something, which is completely ridiculous, cuz they are not harder to make than any other dinner. I love main dishes that include a serving of veggies, cuz I struggle getting all my veggie servings, and stuffed peppers is great way to do that! This is the first stuffed peppers recipe I tried, and I loved it. I will probably be trying more!
Ingredients:
-Olive oil (to brush peppers--I don't really know what brushing the peppers does, but I did it cuz the recipe said too. I'm sure there's a purpose....)
-1/2 lb ground beef
-1/2 an onion, chopped
-1 heaping Tbsp taco seasoning
-2 cups cooked rice
-3-4 bell peppers, halved and seeds removed
-1/2 can of whole kernel corn, or frozen corn
-Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush peppers with oil and bake for 15-20 min. Let cool so you can handle them.
Cook beef, then mix in the taco seasoning and onion. Combine the meat mixture in a bowl with the corn (if using frozen corn, thaw it first) and rice. (The original recipe also calls for salsa to be mixed in, which sounds yummy, but I actually liked it better without the salsa.)
Pack the mixture into the bell peppers. Bake for 15-20 min, adding shredded cheese in the last 5 minutes to melt it. Serve with sour cream and cilantro, or whatever suits your fancy!
