Best Dirty Rice Stuffed Peppers Recipes
RICE-STUFFED PEPPERS
Mother used to fix this wonderful, easy dish when we had company. She was from a family of fantastic Cajun cooks, so our food was always well-seasoned. In Louisiana, rice is part of many meals. The cheese sauce sets these stuffed peppers apart from any others I've tried. -Lisa Easley, Longview, Texas

Called dirty rice because the ground meat gives it a dirty color, the flavorful Cajun rice filling is a delicious twist on the usual stuffed peppers.

Steps:
- 1. Cut caps off the peppers and remove seeds. Cut the extra pepper away from the stems and chop that part up.
- 2. Place the peppers upside down in a square glass baking dish with the 1/4 cup water, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 8 minutes.
- 3. Drain the peppers and turn right side up.
- 4. Preheat the oven to 375F.
- 5. Brown the meats in a nonstick skillet with the garlic and thyme; drain excess fat.
- 6. Add the chopped bits of peppers with the onion and celery to the pan and cook until tender.
- 7. Add spices and bouillon when the veggies are tender and mix well.
- 8. Add the half cup of water along with the Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and tomato paste, mixing well and cooking until the liquid evaporates, then stir in the cold crumbled rice.
- 9. Fill peppers with the rice/meat mixture and sprinkle tops with the Parm. If the peppers have too much space around them, I crumple some foil to fill that so they don't turn over and spill the filling while they bake.
- 10. Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, lightly browned and they are heated through.
