The first time I had even heard of stuffed peppers was over a year ago, when my husband had mentioned how much he liked them. Shortly after his mom made them for a family dinner, I thought they were far too complicated for me to make until I found this recipe, Prego Good-For-You Stuffed Peppers.
Ingredients:
- 8 Green Bell Peppers
- 2 Cups of Brown Minute Rice
- 1 lb of Ground Beef or Ground Turkey
- 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
- 2 Chopped Green Onions
- 1 Tsp of Chili Powder
- 1 26oz Jar of Spaghetti Sauce
- Shredded Colby Jack Cheese, Optional
Directions:
Start by preheating the oven to 400*. I cooked the rice as directed on the package without any
butter or extras, I only used the rice and water to cook it. While this was cooking, I heated up my precooked ground beef crumbles form National Steak and Poultry. I added the olive oil, green onions, and chili powder to the meat while it was heating up. Then, I poured the rice along with 2 cups of spaghetti sauce into the skillet and mixed it up.
Meanwhile, I cut the tops off the peppers and cleaned out the inside of them. Once this was fully heated through, I started stuffing the peppers. After I stuffed the peppers, I drizzled some of the remaining spaghetti sauce over the tops. I put them in the oven on 400* for 45 minutes; however 30 minutes would be enough.
Top with Cheese if desired.
They came out really well and so much easier than I thought these would be to fix! I added a light salad and topped the peppers with mozzarella cheese before serving. I also purchased the peppers at my local farmer’s market and they were well worth it!
Delicious!

Yum! I loved stuffed peppers! They're also great to make in the crockpot.
Crockpot is my friend…I will be trying that next time, even more easy!
Those look really good! My mom used to make them when I was little and I didn't like them then, but now that I'm old I know better and would love them.
I had them my 1st time a few years ago and really thought I wouldn't like them. Turned out, I loved them!
