Categories     Beef

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
1/4 c chopped onion
one pkg taco seasoning mix
1 egg beaten
2 c cooked rice
1 can(s) diced tomatoes --19 oz
16 oz jar salsa
shredded cheddar cheese
sour cream
4-6 green bell peppers

Steps:

  • 1. Combine beef, onion, seasoning mix and egg in a large bowl. Add rice and mix well
  • 2. Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membrane.
  • 3. Spread tomatoes on the bottom of an ovenproof 12 X 9 inch baking dish.
  • 4. The liquid from the tomatoes will reduce during cooking, so add about a cup of water. This also helps make the peppers softer.
  • 5. Place peppers, cut side up, on top of the tomatoes. Spoon beef mixture into peppers, mounding as necessary. Top each pepper with salsa. Bake in preheated 375F oven for 40-45 minutes or until beef is cooked thoroughly and peppers are soft.
  • 6. Cover each pepper with cheese and return to oven, under the broiler, until the cheese melts; less than a minute. Serve with sour cream and additional salsa.
