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!

Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time and ensure that the rice is cooked evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to the dish. Some good options include onions, celery, carrots, corn, and black beans.
  • Season the rice mixture well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin to taste.
  • Stuff the bell peppers tightly: This will help to prevent the filling from falling out during cooking.
  • Bake the bell peppers until they are tender: This usually takes about 30-40 minutes.
  • Serve the bell peppers with your favorite toppings: Some good options include cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guacamole.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice stuffed bell peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover rice.
