Stuffed Peppers

I have wanted to try this recipe ever since I found it on Pinterest and I am so glad I did!  This is a very simple, filling, and healthy meal for the university student!

Ingredients

1 packet rice (I used Zatarain's)
1 bell pepper
2 carrots, chopped
2 sticks celery, chopped
1/4 cup onion, chopped

Directions

1. Cook rice according to directions on box.
2. Wash and de-seed pepper.  Slice small amount off base of pepper to make it flat, allowing it to easily stand.
2. Wash, dry, and chop carrots, celery, and onion.

3. Saute vegetables until slightly brown.
4. Once rice is cooked, add vegetables, and stuff pepper.
5. Place in oven at 375F for 30 minutes or until pepper is cooked and slightly brown.
6. Enjoy with a fresh salad and glass of your favorite wine!

Serves 1 person (with plenty of rice for leftovers!)

TIPS

- Barely slice bottom of pepper, you do not want the rice to fall through bottom of the pepper.
- Use any color pepper and any vegetables.

Bon appétit!
