Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup uncooked quick-cooking brown rice
  • 1 pound extra lean ground beef
  • 1 (26 ounce) jar Prego® Heart Smart Traditional Italian Sauce
  • 6 medium green peppers
  • 1 cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Cook the rice without salt or butter according to the package directions.
  2. Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is well browned, stirring often. Pour off any fat. Stir 2 cups of the sauce and the rice into the skillet.
  3. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise. Discard the seeds and white membranes. Place the pepper shells in a 17x11-inch roasting pan.
  4. Spoon the beef mixture into the pepper shells. Pour the remaining sauce over the filled peppers. Cover.
  5. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes or until the peppers are tender. Top with the cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts.
