A different type of stuffed pepper with a spicy/sweet combination of ingredients. Looks like I found the recipe in an article on budget-friendly meals. Pretty healthy, too.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium green peppers, halved lengthwise, stem left attached, seeds and membranes removed
8 ounces ground chuck
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup quick-cooking barley
1 1/2 cups salsa (mild, medium or hot)
1 cup water
1/4 cup dark raisin

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Arrange peppers, cut side down in a shallow baking pan and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Broil 3 to 4 inches from heat source 10 minutes, turning once until lightly charred. Set oven temperature to 375°F.

Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes until barley is tender. Spoon into pepper halves.
