Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 large bell peppers use red, yellow, or orange
- 1 small onion diced
- 1/2 pound ground beef can use turkey or chicken
- 1 cup cooked rice I like using leftover rice, because it holds up better than freshly made rice
- 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp of seasoning salt OR salt free seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Place the ground meat into a pan, and sprinkle in the seasonings. Brown the meat on medium heat, and add in the diced onions. Drain all the fat, if any, from the pan.
- Add the salsa and the rice along with the meat, and stir. Reduce the heat to medium heat, and let cook for 5 minutes.
- Wash the bell peppers with cool water, then cut lengthwise. Remove the membranes and the seeds.
- Place the peppers into a lightly oiled baking dish, then stuff the peppers with the meat and rice mixture.
- Leave the peppers uncovered then put the baking dish into the oven preheated at 375 f. Let bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the peppers from the oven, and sprinkle the parmesan and cheddar cheese on top. Add color by sprinkling parsley flakes and smoked paprika on top.
- Place bake in the oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
- Let stand for 5 minutes, then serve!
