Ring My Bell

My other half's mother had given me leftover ground beef with taco seasoning and I wasn't sure what to make with it, but after scouring my fridge and finding an open jar of tomato sauce it came to me! Stuffed bell peppers! Mine consisted of onions, garlic, brown rice, bell pepper I took off from the tops that I cut off, the seasoned taco meat, and green beans cooked in a red wine tomato sauce with some chicken stock in my Le Creuset dutch oven.

I took the core out of the bell pepper and roasted them for 10 minutes at 350.

Peppers pre-roast

I sauteed the garlic, bell peppers, and garlic in EVOO. Then I added the brown rice and cooked it with some chicken stock and the tomato sauce. I put the cover on and let it cook. Later on, I added the ground beef and green beans and continued to let it simmer down (Sorry, I was charging my phone and forgot to take a photo!).

Once the stuffing was done, I stuffed it inside the bell peppers and roasted them off for 15 minutes at 400.

The finished product! Although it may not look like it, the peppers have a nice char on them!

The inside! It cut like butter.

Until Next Time!
