Instructions

  • Brown meat and onion, over medium-high heat, in a large skillet, pot or dutch oven, then drain.
  • Boil chopped green peppers in water until soft (10-15 minutes). Drain. You could also cook them for about 5 minutes in the microwave. Cook rice in separate pot. * I use brown minute rice to make it quicker.
  • Mix cooked rice, green pepper, ground beef and remaining ingredients (except cheese) together and pour into prepared baking dish (dutch oven or oven safe casserole dish).
  • Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Then turn it up to 500 degrees F and broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese is lightly brown and bubbly. Serve hot.
