BEEF & YELLOW SPANISH RICE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



Beef & Yellow Spanish Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers image

Another recipe from my MIL. Very simple, fast, and tasty. I've listed the spices I used, but honestly, I have no idea how much of each spice. Anywhere between 5-8 "shakes" of each. Season to your taste! Or substitute sausage for the ground beef.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 bell peppers, halved and seeded, any color
1 lb ground beef
ground black pepper, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste
onion powder, to taste
chili powder, to taste
paprika, to taste
dried sage, to taste
2 1/2 cups yellow rice (I used an 8oz box of Goya brand )
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Set oven to broil.
  • Brown beef (or sausage) in a large pan with the spices (if using sausage, don't add the spices).
  • While beef is browning, prepare yellow rice as instructed on bag or box (or use your own recipe) in another large pan.
  • While beef and rice are cooking: rinse, halve, and seed your bell peppers and place them hollowed-side up in a 13 x 7 inch baking dish.
  • When beef is done browning, add the beef, diced tomatoes, and 1.5 cups of cheese in with the rice pan and stir till thoroughly mixed.
  • Put a heaping spoonful of rice mixture into each bell pepper. They'll probably overflow --
  • Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese over the top of the stuffed peppers.
  • Broil the stuffed peppers until cheese on top is just melted and bubbly (about 15 minutes).
  • Enjoy!

SPANISH RICE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Categories     Pepper     Appetizer     Quick & Easy     Healthy     Simmer

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 6 oz. package Farmhouse® Spanish Rice
One 14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
1-1/2 cups water
6 green, red, yellow or orange bell peppers (choose bell peppers with straight sides and that will stand upright)
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In medium sauce pan over medium heat, bring water, tomatoes, rice and contents of seasoning packet just to boil. Reduce to low boil, cover, and cook for 25 minutes. Uncover and remove from heat. Prepare peppers by cutting off tops. Set pepper tops aside. Scrape out insides of peppers to remove seeds and membrane. Discard scrapings. Place peppers in baking pan. Remove stems from reserved pepper tops and chop pepper tops into small pieces. While rice is cooking, in medium skillet over medium heat, add butter, onion, celery, garlic and chopped pepper tops. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add ground beef and cook until meat is no longer pink. Remove from heat and drain excess grease. Add rice into meat mixture and stir until combined. Fill peppers with mixture. Place stuffed peppers in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle cheese on top of peppers. Return to oven and bake an additional 3 minutes until cheese melts. Remove from oven and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth skin and vibrant color. Avoid peppers with bruises or blemishes.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and ensure that the rice is cooked evenly. Plus, it’s a great way to use up leftover rice.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your stuffing. Some popular options include corn, black beans, tomatoes, and zucchini.
  • Season the stuffing well: Don't be shy with the spices! A good blend of chili powder, cumin, and paprika will give your stuffing a delicious flavor.
  • Bake the peppers until they are tender: The peppers should be soft enough to easily pierce with a fork, but not so soft that they are falling apart.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice stuffed bell peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty dinner, give this recipe a try!
