I live off of ground beef. It is one thing I cannot live without. Sometimes I will substitute it for a healthier alternative like ground turkey, but it’s something I always have. Well, one day I some beef out of the freezer and blanked on what I could make for dinner. I looked around the house and saw I had canned pinto beans, canned corn, Knorr rice sides Spanish rice, and in my fridge I had three bell peppers. Then, I had the idea to make stuffed bell peppers.
Here is what you will need: 1lb of ground beef Your favorite beef seasonings (I used onion powder and garlic powder) 2 Bell peppers (Washed, cleaned out, and cut in half; I used one yellow and one orange) 1 can of pinto beans (drained and rinsed) 1 can of corn (drained) 1 package of Knorr Rice Sides Spanish Rice As much Shredded cheese as you like Directions: I start by seasoning my beef and cooking it in a frying pan on medium heat until fully cooked. Once cooked, I drain excess fat and add more seasonings to the meat and mix thoroughly. I then cook my rice sides. I followed the instructions on the package. I believe it took 2 cups of water, pour contents of package into a saucepan, cook on high until boiling, then lower heat to simmer and cook for 7 minutes or until rice is soft. I’m winging it on the instructions for that I can’t remember so just follow the instructions on the package. I then preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up I mixed the beans, corn and ground beef. Next, I get a cookie sheet and cover it with aluminum foil. I place the bell pepper halves onto the sheet then stuff them with the rice, meat mixture and top them with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes. I just put my bell peppers into the oven raw, some people boil them or do something to make the pepper softer. This is completely up to you. Since I did this on a whim I didn't want to waste more time. Serve onto a plate and enjoy! This was my wing it meal of the week. Half of the time I don’t know what to make for dinner. What do you do when you don’t know what to make for dinner? Do you make dinner on a whim too? Let me know in the comments!
