Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 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)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
