Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 bell peppers (tops cut off and seeds and membranes removed)
1 pound mild or spicy ground Italian sausage (for alternative protein options, see notes)
3 cup uncooked Spanish style rice (or white rice, see note)
1 ½ cups water
1 15-ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
cilantro or green onions for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a large baking dish and arrange bell peppers standing up. (If they want to tip over you can always cut off the very bottom 1/8 of an inch or so to flatten them out and help them stand!) Transfer to preheated oven and allow to cook for 10-15 minutes until tender. (Move ahead with Step 2 while peppers are baking!)
  • In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook sausage for 5-6 minutes, breaking apart with a spatula or spoon as it cooks, until well browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a platter, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
  • Add rice, water, and tomatoes to the pan, give it a good stir, and bring to a boil. Reduce to LOW, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir sausage and 1/2 cup of the cheese into the pan. Spoon mixture into the baked peppers and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with green onions or cilantro if desired and serve.

WEEKNIGHT LOW-CARB STUFFED BELL PEPPERS



Weeknight Low-Carb Stuffed Bell Peppers image

I have been making this recipe for 25 years but I have never written it down. I got the recipe from my best friends mother in law. I religiously made it exactly as she had given it to me. I ran into her a few years ago and told her how I had made her recipe all these years. She told me she never puts the same ingredients in twice. She just uses what she has on hand. LOL.
