Ingredients

4 Red Bell Peppers
1/2 Cup Red Onion Chopped
2 Tbs Chopped Minced Garlic
1 14.5 Oz Can Mexican Style Diced Tomatoes

1 Cup Cooked Brown Rice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cut the tops off of the Peppers and hollow out the inside.

In a large pot of boiling water cook peppers until tender, then drain.

Prepare the filling

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef, once browned, drain any excess oil and return to the ground beef to the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, diced tomatoes, corn, chili powder, salt, pepper & rice and stir it all together.

Put the peppers standing up in a baking dish and fill with the filling. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 mins. Remove foil and let tops get brown then serve.

The can easily be prepared as a vegetarian dish by omitting the ground beef and increasing the rice to 2 cups

  • I’m copying this and will try it this weekend! I LOVE bellpeppers and chili powder. sounds totally yummy!

  • This sounds awesome! However; to make it vegetarian instead of adding another cup of rice, I will add a cup of black beans. That will increase the protein.
