- 4 large red bell peppers (if you like them really soft boil in water for 5-7 minutes first before you stuff them)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 1/4 pounds lean ground beef
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- 1 cup salsa (I recommend medium heat)
- 1 to 1 1/4 cups cooked brown rice
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 2 cups Kraft Italiano shredded cheese (or cheese of your choice)
What You Will Need
No special items needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Step 2
Slice each pepper half lengthwise, leaving the stems intact. Remove the seeds and ribs.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet to medium heat. Add onions, cook for about 2-3 minutes. Next add the ground beef and garlic, salt and pepper. Cook about 10 minutes or until beef if lightly browned.
Step 4
In a separate bowl mix salsa with cooked rice, sour cream and green onions. Add the ground beef mixture and combine thoroughly. Stuff the mixture into each pepper.
Step 5
Place the stuffed peppers in a casserole dish, cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the foil, sprinkle each pepper with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Return to oven bake uncovered for 15 more minutes.
