Ingredients
Filling
- 1 pound ground beef extra lean
- 3 tablespoon taco seasoning
- ½ cup rice medium or long grain, uncooked
- 1 cup beef broth low sodium
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 1 cup corn frozen or canned
- 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
Peppers
- 4 large bell peppers green or any other color, cut in half and deseeded
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Wash and seed the bell peppers and cut in half from top to bottom. Place in a greased 9×13 baking dish and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, should take 5 to 6 minutes. Add in the taco seasoning, rice, enchilada sauce, corn and black beans, beef broth stirring well. Cook for about 10 minutes until the rice cooks through.
- Scoop a couple tablespoons of mixture into the bell pepper halves, top with about a couple tablespoons of cheese, then scoop a couple more tablespoons of beef mixture to fill the peppers. Place them in the prepared baking dish and pour the remaining 1 cup of enchilada sauce over them. Cover the pan with aluminum foil.
- Transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
- Uncover the peppers, top with remaining cheese and place back in the oven for another 5 minutes or until the cheese melts. Garnish with parsley or cilantro if you choose and serve.
Notes
- If you plan on pre-baking your peppers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3-4 days. Reheat either in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, or you can reheat using your oven. Bake the peppers, covered, at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
- Make ahead: You can make the filling, stuff the peppers, and cover in the fridge up to 2 days. Bake the for an extra 10-15 minutes before adding the final layer of cheese.
