Stuffed yellow peppers.



Forgive the photo - I had a two year old hanging on me and it was very hard to get a decent looking photo of something that is not so pretty to begin with.

Rest assured, it was delicious! I served it with healthy 'refried' beans from Weelicious.

Stuffed Yellow Peppers

Elly Says Opa

4-6 yellow peppers
canola oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 links chipotle chicken sausage, or other Mexican-style or spicy sausage, casings removed
3/4 cup salsa
1/2 cup chicken broth
cumin/chili powder/salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup rice, cooked or par-cooked
1 cup cheddar/Mexican/manchengo/whatever kind of cheese you want

Preheat oven to 375.

Cut lids off peppers. Remove core, and place on a cookie sheet/jelly roll pan sprayed with oil. Spray peppers lightly, too.

Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add garlic and sausage. Crumble and brown sausage.

Stir in salsa, chicken broth and seasonings. Add rice and simmer for a couple minutes, absorbing some of the liquid. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.

Fill peppers with mixture. Bake for 30 minutes.
