Ingredients

    2 large bell peppers (red is sweetest!)
    1/2 lb. 93% lean ground beef
    1/2 c. chopped onion
    1.5 servings of brown rice (3/4 cup dry)
    1/2 c. Bertolli Arrabbiata tomato sauce
    1 slice pepper jack cheese
    1 tsp. chili powder
    salt
    pepper

Directions

Slice peppers in half (either way), and remove ribs and seeds. Place in a glass baking dish, sprayed with cooking spray, and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.


While peppers are cooking, prepare brown rice as directed on package. Cook ground beef in a shallow skillet, seasoning with as much spiciness as you like. Mix cooked rice, beef, chopped onion, tomato sauce, and crumbled cheese in a medium mixing bowl.


Remove peppers from oven and fill with rice and beef mixture, top with cheese if desired (optional, but included in nutritional info), and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
