Number Of Ingredients 17

10 bell peppers, any color, cleaned with caps off
2 lb lean ground beef
1 lb ground turkey
2 c par boiled rice, uncooked
salt and pepper
paprika
SALSA
2 can(s) black beans, rinced and drained
1 can(s) white beans, rinced and drianed, i use navy
2 can(s) whole corn, you can use white or yellow or both
1 green pepper diced
1 onion diced
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper
2 limes, juiced
6 whole fresh tomato's diced, most seeds removed, all different colors
1/2 catsup ( i pour this over the top of everything put the foil on and bake)

Steps:

1. Mix your meat, uncooked rice and seasonings together in bowl. Stuff your peppers, place in baking dish, I take the tops and cut them into chunks and throw them into the pan around the peppers.
2. I put the salsa all over the peppers and in the bottom of the pan, there is a lot of juice from the tomatos and lime, but you will need all the juice.
3. Cover pan with foil and bake 325 for 2 1/2 - 3 hours, I usually check to see when the rice is done, the juice helps this along and you wont get a watered down dish in the end.
4. I also use this salsa for chips, or just make a batch of white rice and ladel some over the hot rice. It is really versatile.
