Orginally recipe made with: -Chi-Chi's Salsa -Bird's Eye Steam Fresh Brown Rice & Corn -1/2 Jimmy Dean Org Sausage Roll

Provided by Marina Moore

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 c boca crumbles or 1/2 jimmy dean orginial sausage roll
8-10 oz corn, frozen or canned
1-1.5 c salsa, chunky
1-1.5 c brown rice, cooked
1 c mexican blend shredded cheese
3 large peppers; red, orange, yellow, or green
1/2 c water
1/2 c red onion (chopped finely)
2 dash(es) parsley flakes
2 dash(es) oregano, dried
2 dash(es) garlic powder
1 dash(es) salt and pepper
foil
1 9x13 glass or ceramic baking dish or multiple smaller ones

Steps:

1. BOCA version - Measure 2 cups of BOCA crumbles in medium size canola/oil sprayed skillet, heat as directed. Watch closely. Doesnt take the full 12 min it says. Sausage Version- Cut off 1/2 JD sausage roll into skillet. Break up into as small of pieces as you can while browning meat.
2. Dash parsley, organo, and garlic power, mix and set to and set aside.
3. Set oven to 400 If using a boil-in-bag rice. Put in microwave for 10 minutes while cleaning peppers and getting ingredients out. Corn in micro is next (if you use that kind) Clean peppers inside and out. Slice peppers long, top to bottom (not the traditional, top off way). Your eating all of it! Don't forget the outside! Dampen off peppers with paper towl and set aside. I find yellow, red, and orange to be delish and I'm finding out much healthier than the norm!!!
4. Back to the BOCA or sausage. Put into larger skillet, sauce pan or bowl, no further heat is necessary but you can keep it on low if you want.
5. Add cooked corn, salsa, rice, and red onion to BOCA or sausage. Stir in 1/2 cheese. Save rest for topping, once assembled.
6. Pack peppers each with filling and set into glass 9x13 oven safe baking dish or other ceramic oven safe dish with 1/2c water in bottom. If using multiple or smaller dishes, each has 1/2 cup water. Sprinkle remaining cheese over each pepper.
7. Cover all dishes with foil (dull side closest to food) and Bake for 30 minutes!
8. Eat any left over filling!

Tips:

If you want to reduce the cooking time, blanch the bell peppers before stuffing them. To blanch, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Remove the peppers from the water and place them in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Once the peppers are cool, drain them and pat them dry.
If you don't have ground beef, you can substitute ground turkey, chicken, or pork.
You can customize the filling to your liking. Add your favorite spices, herbs, or vegetables.
If you want a chewier filling, add some cooked rice or quinoa.
If you want a saucier filling, add some tomato sauce or salsa.
Be careful not to overcook the peppers. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
Serve the stuffed peppers with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Tri-color stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be tailored to your liking. With a variety of fillings and toppings to choose from, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
