Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground beef
1-1/2 cups water
1-1/2 cups instant brown rice, uncooked
1 small zucchini, chopped
1-1/2 cups CLASSICO Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce, divided
1-1/2 cups KRAFT Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided
1 each large red, yellow and green pepper, cut lengthwise in half, seeded

Steps:

Heat grill to medium-high heat.
Brown meat in skillet; drain. Meanwhile, bring water to boil in large saucepan. Add rice; cover. Simmer 5 min. Remove from heat; let stand 5 min.
Drain meat. Add to rice with zucchini and 1 cup each pasta sauce and cheese.
Place 1 pepper half in center of each of 6 large sheets of heavy-duty foil; fill with meat mixture. Top with remaining sauce and cheese. Bring up foil sides. Add 1 Tbsp. water to each packet. Double-fold top and ends to seal each packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside.
Grill 20 to 25 min. or until filling is heated through and peppers are crisp-tender. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening each packet.
