Stuffed Red Peppers

This weekend Ryan and I went to Cambria to celebrate our one year anniversary. To try and stay on the straight and narrow with Weight Watchers, I made some Stuffed Red Peppers. They were DELISH!!!! If I do say so myself :o) Here's how I made 'em.

Noelle's Stuffed Peppers 

Ingredients:

Extra Lean Ground Beef (4% fat) 

Trader Joe's Organic Brown Rice

A couple bell peppers (whole)

Pico De Gallo Salsa

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Slice the top off the pepper and carefully clean out the middle, removing all the seeds. 

Brown the hamburger until it's ALMOST done

Cook the rice as per the directions on the box

Once the hamburger is ready, add the rice and the salsa and mix thoroughly

Then spoon the mixture into the peppers and pack firmly, without breaking the pepper 

Put the peppers and their side in a over safe pan with tall sides

Fill a cookie sheet with some water and place the pepper pans in the water 

Cover both sets of pans with aluminum foil but keep the sides open to vent the steam

Cook for 30 minutes and then remove, serve and enjoy!!

Until next time...
