Recipe: Stuffed Peppers

Here is a simple, quick, and easy recipe for stuffed green peppers. I originally found the idea on Pinterest, but I put my own twist to it. This is a vegetarian recipe.

Here is what you'll need for two stuffed green peppers.

2 Green Peppers (with 4 points on the bottom so they'll stand up easier)
1 cup Rice (Use brown or white)
1 cup Onion
Handful of Cilantro (optional)
4 Green Onions chopped
1 cup Green Peppers
1 garlic clove (or garlic powder)
Parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper

*You can season this anyway you'd like. I added Fiesta Lime seasoning, Crushed Red Peppers, Garlic Powder, and a Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

Cut, open, and clean out the green peppers, and preheat your oven to 375*F/190*C.

First cook the rice either on the stove top or rice cooker. Next in a medium hot pan add 2 teaspoon of olive oil. To this add the green peppers, onions, and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes. Next add your green onions and cilantro. Season the mixture now with any kind of seasoning you prefer. Add salt and pepper. Now add in the cooked rice, and stir into the mixture. The last step is to add the Parmesan cheese. Mix it in and let the mixture cook for about 2 minutes. 

Now stuff your mixture into the green peppers, and place it in the oven for 30 minutes. Add cheese of your choice: Mozzarella, Colby Jack, or Pepper Jack. Sprinkle a generous amount on top. Put it back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes. 

Pull out of the oven. Serve Warm. Enjoy!
