Another Blast From the Past

This recipe is athlete-tested, chef-approved. My favorite review is something that one of my athletes said on the 2011 trip: "I don't like vegetables and food mixed together, but this recipe made me change my mind." AIA BEL trips - changing the way people think about food since 2010.

The Foodstuffs:
  • Four bell peppers (I like orange), washed and either cut in half or remove the stem and seeds.
  • One pound lean ground beef (or whatever).
  • One can of black beans (if you aren't feeling the ground beef).
  • One head of lettuce, shredded.
  • One jar of salsa.
  • Sour cream or ranch dressing.
  • Shredded cheese (colby jack or cheddar is always a good choice).
  • Corn kernles.
  • Brown rice.
The How-You-Do-It:
  • Preheat the oven to 350*.
  • Cook your pepper for 30 minutes. Remove and cool.
  • In a pan, brown the ground beef. If you are using beans, rinse and drain them, and warm them through.
  • Now for the rice. You can do one of two things - prepare the rice before hand and stuff it in the pepper with all of the other ingredients OR you can serve it as a side. Your call, just make sure you follow the cooking instructions on the packaging.
  • Stuff your pepper! I like to end with sour cream and cheese on top, but follow as the Spirit leads you.
  • Place your peppers back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
