Jasmine Rice-Stuffed Peppers
- 4 large green bell peppers
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
- 1/2 cup uncooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups tomato sauce, divided
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2/3 pound ground sirloin, extra lean
- 1/3 pound ground turkey breast
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
- Cut bell peppers in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes, leaving the stems intact. Place on a foil-lined jelly-roll pan, cut sides up.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add onion, garlic, and jalapeno to pan; saute 5 minutes or until onion is lightly browned. Add rice, and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add broth; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; cool completely.
- Combine rice mixture, 1 cup tomato sauce, 1/4 cup cheese, and remaining ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until blended. Spoon about 1/2 cup meat mixture into each pepper half. Spoon remaining 1 cup tomato sauce evenly over peppers. Cover and bake at 400u0b0 for 45 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese; bake 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
