Recipe type: Main Dish, Beef
Serves: 6 peppers
Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • ½ large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 8-oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 4-oz can diced green chilies
  • ½ can sweet corn kernels
  • ½ can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 package Spanish ready rice
  • 3 bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeds removed
  • ¾ to 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • Cilantro, chopped (to taste)
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add onion and cook until onion is tender.
  3. Reduce heat to low and add tomato sauce, green chilies, corn, and black beans. Simmer mixture while you grill the peppers and make the rice.
  4. Place peppers, cut side down, on grill. Cover and grill for 8 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook rice according to microwave cooking directions. Remove from microwave and empty rice package into ground beef mixture. Stir to combine.
  6. When peppers are done, remove from grill and spoon ground beef mixture into each pepper (I did about ½ cup each, but it will depend on the size of your peppers).
  7. Place stuffed peppers on grill and grill, covered, for an additional 2 minutes. Sprinkle each with about ⅛ cup Pepper Jack cheese and grill, covered, an additional 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Top each pepper with chopped cilantro.
