Simple and Quick Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients Needed
-
2 large red bell peppers, halved and seeded
-
1 (8 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, with liquid
-
⅓ cup quick-cooking brown rice
-
2 tablespoons hot water
-
½ (15 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
-
½ cup frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
-
2 green onions, thinly sliced
-
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Place the halved peppers in a 9-inch square glass dish. Cover with plastic wrap, making a few holes for steam to escape. Microwave until the peppers are soft, about 4 minutes. Set aside.
-
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine tomatoes with their juice, rice, and hot water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave until the rice is tender, about 4 minutes.
-
Carefully remove the plastic wrap. Stir in the kidney beans, corn, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Re-cover the bowl and microwave for another 3 minutes, or until heated through.
-
Spoon the hot mixture into the pepper halves. Cover the baking dish again with plastic wrap and poke holes for ventilation. Microwave for another 4 minutes.
-
Remove the plastic wrap. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top of the stuffed peppers. Let stand for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
