Name: Southwestern Stuffed Bell Peppers
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground beef; 1/4 cup chopped onion; 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix; 1 egg, beaten; 2 cups cooked rice; 4 -6 bell peppers; 1 (19 ounce) can diced tomatoes; 1 (15 -16 ounce) jar salsa; shredded cheddar cheese; sour cream

Servings: persons

1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 egg, beaten
2 cups cooked rice
4 -6 bell peppers
1 (19 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 -16 ounce) jar salsa
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream

1
Combine beef, onion, seasoning mix and egg in a large bowl.
2
Add rice and mix well.
3
Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membrane.
4
Spread tomatoes on the bottom of an ovenproof 12 X 9 inch baking dish. The liquid from the tomatoes will reduce during cooking so if (like me) you like lots of sauce, add about a cup of water. This also helps make the peppers softer.
5
Place peppers, cut side up, on top of the tomatoes.
6
Spoon beef mixture into peppers, mounding as necessary.
7
Top each pepper with salsa.
8
Bake in preheated 375u00b0F oven for 40-45 minutes or until beef is cooked thoroughly and peppers are soft.
9
Cover each pepper with cheese and return to oven, under the broiler, until the cheese melts- less than a minute, so watch carefully!
10
Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.
