Sizzling Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients:
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. While the oven is warming up, cook the rice according to the package instructions and set it aside.
Prepare the bell peppers by slicing around the top and stem, then removing the top. Clear out the seeds and membranes from inside. Give your baking dish a light coating of cooking spray and place the peppers in it, ready for stuffing.
Next, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef along with the onions and garlic. Keep at it until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft and see-through. Drain off any excess drippings carefully.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture. Let it all cook together on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Mix in the cooked rice with the beef mixture until everything is well combined. Spoon this tasty filling into each bell pepper, pressing down gently to ensure they’re nicely packed.
Top each stuffed pepper with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender to your liking. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before digging in.
Pair these easy-to-make stuffed peppers with a side of mashed potatoes and a fresh salad for a complete meal that’s sure to impress your camping crew.
