First off: My picture does not do this amazing dish justice! I was just happy I remembered to snap a picture before we devoured this delicious dish! This is my husbands favorite meal...and my dad is a picky eater, and he loved them too!
Tangy Stuffed Peppers
- 1 1/2 Pounds Ground Beef
- 1/4 onion, chopped
- 1 1/2 cup of prepared rice (I used Minute Rice)
- 1 can of corn, drained (15 1/4 oz)
- 8oz of tomato sauce
- 2 cans of stewed tomatoes (I used Rotel Mexican Style, but you can use regular stewed tomatoes or one of each!)
- 1 package of taco seasoning
- 6-8 peppers (I use red peppers, but you can also use green or yellow, whatever your preference, also depending on the size of your peppers will depend how many you make! I got HUGE peppers the other day, so I used 2 whole peppers!)
Brown ground beef and onions; set aside. Place cooked rice and corn in a large mixing bowl; add tomato sauce and stewed tomatoes. Stir in taco seasoning mix and ground beef mixture; set aside. Remove stems of peppers and discard; cut peppers in half (cut them long ways so they kind of look like a boat); spoon meat and rice mixture into peppers. Arrange in an ungreased 13x9 baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour. Check to see if peppers are tender (if you can poke them with a fork), if not reduce heat to 375 and bake until tender. Top with Sour Cream.
PS these freeze really well, i make a double batch a lot and freeze the 2nd batch, just in case you come into a good price on peppers
