Description

A zesty twist on traditional stuffed peppers. The whole family loved them!!

Ingredients

  • 8 whole Green Bell Peppers
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Meat
  • ⅓ cups Chopped Onion
  • ⅓ cups Chopped Green Bell Pepper
  • ⅓ cups Chopped Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 box Chicken Flavored Rice-a-Roni
  • 1 envelope Fajita Seasoning Mix
  • ½ cups Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F.

Cut tops off peppers, remove seeds and membranes. Boil in salted boiling water for 4 minutes. Remove into an ice bath, then drain upside down on paper towels.

Brown beef with chopped onions and peppers. Add 3/4 packet of fajita seasoning mix.

Prepare Rice-a-Roni according to package directions, except add remainder of fajita seasoning when adding the enclosed flavor packet (add that too).

Combine beef mixture and rice in a bowl. Stuff peppers and stand in a baking dish. Top each pepper with 1 Tbsp shredded cheese.

Add 1/2 inch water to baking pan. Bake for 40 minutes.

I found your recipe while looking for inspiration. I have some extra peppers, and some chili – think I will combine the chili with cooked rice, stuff the peppers and top with mexican shredded cheese (all in my frig this very minute!)

Thank you for the inspiration. I had 4 bell peppers that I was going to eat with hummus. Publix had a two for one Chi-Chis taco meat on sale. I added Spanish rice, a can of black beans and some olives to it and topped with shredded cheese. I had forgotten how much I liked stuffed peppers and I didn’t make them because they seemed like a lot of trouble. You made it seem easy, down and dirty. Thanks.
