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.

Provided by SJBG2110

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

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).
