The key to this recipe is cumin, even in the Italian version!
To go veg, simply replace the ground beef with black beans. Very tasty!
The other day, I used leftover chili and added it to rice for the filling. It was great.
Ingredients:
Green peppers, 4-6
Cooked rice, 2 cups
Diced tomatoes, 1 can
Tomato sauce, 1 can
Creamed corn, 1 can
Ground beef, 1 lb.
Onion, 1 diced
Grated cheese, any kind
Spices: S&P, cumin, or Italian spices
Brown the beef with the onions. Combine all ingredients in large bowl, saving some cheese and tomato sauce to go on top of peppers. Cut off tops of peppers, hollow out inside, stuff them with rice mixture, place them in baking dish (preferably deep), and top with sauce and cheese. Bake covered (lid or tinfoil) at 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes, or until cheese is nice and bubbly.
Note: you may need to make a "tent" out of the tinfoil over the peppers, so the cheese doesn't stick to it when you unveil your creation.
