If you like stuffed peppers, you'll love this speedy version. It offers all the comforting flavor of the original, but takes just half an hour. Instead of cooking the instant rice, you can use 2 cups leftover cooked rice if you have it on hand. -Beth Dewyer, Du Bois, Pennsylvania

BELL PEPPER & RICE BAKE (UNSTUFFED BELL PEPPERS)



Bell Pepper & Rice Bake (Unstuffed Bell Peppers) image

Adapted from the "Stuffed Peppers with Tomato Sauce" recipe from Vegetarian Times. This dish has an amazing flavor combination. We use basmati rice cooked with a pinch of time and a bay leaf, I typically omit the celery, and I highly recommend Tofurkey's Italian Sausage for this dish.
