Ingredients
- 40 sweet peppers
- 1 Cup cooked white rice
- ½ Cup salsa
- 1 Tbsp. canola oil
- ½ small yellow onion diced
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 3 Tbsp. taco seasoning
- 1 Cup corn
- 1 Cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into little pieces as it cooks, about 6 minutes.
- Add the taco seasoning and corn and stir gently to combine, allowing to cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Take each sweet pepper and slice it lengthwise, removing 1/3 of the flesh. Remove the seeds and veins, then fill with a teaspoon or two of rice, followed by 1/2 teaspoon of salsa, then top with the beef mixture. Using a casserole dish, or foil-lined baking sheets, place the stuffed peppers in a row until full, then sprinkle with the cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and just slightly browned, and the peppers are softened. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then server immediately.
