MEXIBELL PEPPERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Heat oil in a large skillet, add onion and cook over medium heat until soft.
• Add garlic and beef, cook beef until no longer pink, breaking up meat with a spoon.
• Add tomatoes, basil, oregano, chili powder, salt and pepper, reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine rice, beans and corn.
• Add turkey mixture and 1 cup of cheese, mix to combine.
• Spoon stuffing into pepper halves and place in a baking dish.
• Add 1/4 cup water to the bottom of the dish, cover with foil and bake 30-40 minutes or until peppers are tender.
• Remove foil, top with remaining cheese and bake until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the ground beef into a skillet over medium heat, and brown the meat, breaking it apart into crumbles as it cooks, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning, water, chili powder, cooked rice, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and 1 can of tomato sauce; mix until thoroughly combined. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise, and remove stems, membranes, cores, and seeds. Place a steamer insert into a large saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Place the peppers into the steamer insert, cover the pan, and steam until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the steamed peppers into the prepared baking dish, and fill lightly with the meat filling. Press 1 cube of Colby-Jack cheese into the center of the filling in each pepper, and spoon the remaining can of tomato sauce over the peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot, 25 to 30 minutes.
