Best Bell Peppers Stuffed With Mexican Cauliflower Rice Recipes

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
• In a skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until browned.
• Cut out the tops of the bell peppers. Clean out the seeds and any membranes. Then arrange the peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides face up. (If needed, you can slice off the bottom so they stand upright.)
• In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, browned beef, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, onion and garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Fill each bell pepper to the top. In a bowl, mix together the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning. Pour as a topping over the stuffed peppers.
• Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender. Baste each pepper with sauce every 15 minutes in order to keep it moist.

STUFFED PEPPERS WITH FROZEN CAULIFLOWER RICE

Steps:

• Slice tops off peppers and place peppers on a microwave-safe plate. Remove stems from pepper tops and discard. Dice flesh from pepper tops and set aside 1/2 of the diced peppers; save remaining diced peppers for another use.
• Microwave peppers on high for 3 minutes until partially cooked.
• Place frozen riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 1 minute. Add beef, mushrooms, carrots, celery, onion, and reserved diced peppers and cook until onions begin to turn translucent and beef is nearly cooked, about 5 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook for 1 minute. Add cooked riced cauliflower and garlic; stir and cook until beef is browned and crumbly, breaking up any chunks with a spoon, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Add drained tomatoes, tomato paste, and fresh basil to the skillet and cook until nearly all liquid is absorbed, about 5 more minutes. Turn off heat and allow beef mixture to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stuff beef mixture evenly into peppers. Stand peppers upright in a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and filling is hot, about 30 minutes.
