Ingredients
- 2 Cans Manwich Original
- 2 Pounds Fresh Ground Hamburger or Turkey Meat
- 2 Cups Cooked Rice (you can use brown or white; instant white rice was used here)
- 6 Fresh Bell Peppers (green, yellow, and red)
- ¼ Cup Onion
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1.5 Cups Shredded Cheese
- Large Casserole Pan
- Aluminum Foil
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, start browning your meat until it’s thoroughly cooked. Once it starts to cook, add your garlic salt and black pepper.
2. While your meat is cooking, prep your bell peppers by washing them, cutting off the tops, and removing the core. Set aside.
3. Line your casserole dish with aluminum foil. This step is optional but makes for easy cleanup. Arrange your bell peppers in the dish.
4. Cook your rice according to package instructions. You can use instant, raw, or brown rice depending on your preference.
5. Once the meat is cooked, drain the fat and return the meat to the skillet. Add in the Manwich, onions, and cooked rice. Cook until heated through.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the skillet mixture and stir until it begins to melt.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and spoon the mixture into each bell pepper, filling them completely.
8. Bake the stuffed peppers for 30 minutes or until heated through. During the last 10 minutes, sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
9. Remove from oven and allow the peppers to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can mix and match bell pepper colors for a more vibrant dish.
Lining the casserole pan with foil helps make cleanup easier.
For a healthier version, opt for lean ground turkey and brown rice.
