I always try to do a little something different with ground beef. I made these ground beef and rice peppers. With some cheese on top, they make a complete dinner.

How To Make mexican stuffed bell peppers
-
Step 1In a large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, brown up ground beef – do not drain off grease.
-
Step 2Add in tomato sauce, spices, canned Rotel, and onion.
-
Step 3Reduce the heat in your skillet. Then, slowly add in cooked rice. Simmer until it thickens slightly.
-
Step 4Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the top and following out the inside of the seeds and membrane. Secure a baking dish and fill it slightly with water.
-
Step 5Line up the peppers in the dish with water. Stir the meat mixture again and turn off the heat. It should be thick by now.
-
Step 6Fill the empty bell pepper cavities with rice and ground beef mixture.
-
Step 7After peppers are filled completely, add shredded cheese. I like to use Colby Jack.
-
Step 8I placed my 13 x 9 dish on top of a jelly roll pan, which is 11 x 7, just in case there are any drips, it won’t get down on the stove bottom.
-
Step 9Cover with aluminum foil and add it to the preheated oven.
-
Step 10Bake For 35 to 40 minutes. Pull out of the oven and let cool.
-
Step 11Serve and enjoy.
