Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cups water
2/3 cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
2 smoked chorizo sausage links (3 oz each), diced (1 1/4 cups)
1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted tomatoes with chipotle peppers, undrained
1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (6 oz)
4 medium red or green bell peppers or 2 of each, cut in half lengthwise, seeds and membranes removed
4 medium green onions, chopped (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in rice. Reduce heat to low. Cover; simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix sausage, beans, tomatoes, 1 cup of the cheese and the cooked rice. Place pepper halves, cut sides up, in ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Spoon about 2/3 cup rice mixture in each pepper half, mounding as necessary.
  • Cover tightly with foil; bake 35 to 40 minutes or until peppers are crisp-tender and filling is thoroughly heated. Uncover; sprinkle tops of peppers with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the onions. Bake uncovered 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

These stuffed peppers are a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover brown rice and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm a vegetarian so I used tofu instead of chorizo in these stuffed peppers. They were still really good!

I added some chopped bell pepper to my stuffed peppers and they were delicious! I think next time I'll add some chopped zucchini too.
