Ingredients
- 1/2 cup long grain white rice
- 1 cup water
- 6 medium bell peppers any color
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 (15 ounce can) diced tomatoes drained
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup long grain white rice with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and steam until all water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, trim the tops off 6 medium bell peppers and remove seeds and membrane from inside. Place the bell peppers into the prepared pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees.
- While the bell peppers are cooking, cook 1 pound lean ground beef and 1 medium white onion in a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat until the beef is browned and the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat or liquids. Add 3 teaspoons minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 (15 ounce can) diced tomatoes (drained), the cooked rice, corn, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese.
- Remove bell peppers from the oven and spoon the ground beef mixture into bell peppers until full. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes until cheese is bubbling and browned.

Notes
- For Softer Bell Peppers: if you like your bell peppers to be softer instead of tender crisp, bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees in the lightly greased pan before stuffing.
