Easy Dinner Idea – 30 Minute Beef and Rice Stuffed Peppers Recipe
These easy stuffed peppers are great on a cool evening, plus dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes. Take back dinnertime with this stuffed pepper recipe.
If it’s not easy to make then it’s probably not going to be cooked in our house. Even though I am a stay-at-home mom I could spend hours in the kitchen prepping and cooking a dinner that would knock your socks off, but my family probably wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole.
Sure we know how to dine out in public without people staring at us too badly, but at home, there are some serious down-home meals that are eaten!
One of my family’s favorite recipes is stuffed peppers, even though no one likes the peppers except for me. So instead of wasting money or time on peppers, I usually just make the stuffing and add some veggies on the side to keep our food pyramid in check!
