SPICY STUFFED PEPPERS



Spicy Stuffed Peppers image

One of my family's favorites. You can use any ground meat, such as turkey or chicken in place of beef, and brown rice instead of white, if you desire. This recipe is better for people who can taste test and adjust spices as they go, to achieve the level of spiciness they desire. I never measure those when I make this dish.

Provided by SPumpFan

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 Pepper halves, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 bell peppers
1 lb ground beef
3/4 cup cooked white rice
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (11 ounce) can sweet corn
Worcestershire sauce
cayenne pepper
2 1/2 cups four-cheese Mexican blend cheese
Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and Cut the stems out of your peppers, cut in half, long ways and de-seed.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil then, submerge your pepper halves into the pot for 3 minutes. Remove and set aside to drain/cool.
  • Start your rice. (2 cups of water to 1 cup dry rice) Cook as you normally would.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • While the rice cooks, start on your filling. In a large, somewhat deep skillet, brown your ground beef over medium heat.
  • Once your beef is no longer pink, lightly drain and add in your can of tomatoes and green chiles, your can of tomato sauce and your canned corn. Stir it all up.
  • In this next part, taste as you go, so that you know how spicy it is and you can adjust accordingly.
  • Add in some salt and pepper shakes, about 7 dashes of Worchestershire, 5-6 dashes of cayenne pepper and Tabasco, depending on how spicy you like things -- Stir it all up again.
  • Add in 2 cups of the shredded Mexican cheese. Taste your mixture to make sure you don't need to re-adjust your Worchestershire, cayenne and salt and pepper. I usually do -- Your mixture will have some liquid still and that's okay because the rice will soak it up --.
  • Add your cooked rice to the mixture and stir it all together, blending well.
  • Stuff your pepper halves with the mixture and place In a lightly greased dish, pan, or on a cookie sheet. Use the remaining cheese to sprinkle on top of your peppers.
  • Tent some foil over the pan so that the cheese doesn't burn and won't stick to the foil.
  • Place your pan in the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and cook for about 15 more minutes until the cheese on top is melted and the peppers are heated through.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bell peppers: Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep, vibrant color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and ensure that the rice is cooked evenly. You can cook the rice up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Use a variety of fillings: In addition to the suggested fillings in the recipe, you can also use ground beef, turkey, chicken, or beans. You can also add vegetables such as corn, black beans, or zucchini.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: The peppers should be filled loosely so that the rice has room to expand as it cooks.
  • Bake the peppers until they are tender: The peppers should be cooked until they are soft and slightly browned. This will take about 30-35 minutes.

Conclusion:

Spicy Spanish rice stuffed peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a hearty and flavorful meal that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try!
