Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Stuffed Peppers
Easy, cheesy, meatless stuffed peppers!
How to Make This:
Ingredients:
4 medium Uncooked bell peppers
1 Tbsp light butter spread (I used Brummel & Brown Spread Made with Yogurt)
1 small Uncooked onion, chopped
3 medium Garlic cloves, minced
1 cup Uncooked long grain brown rice
3 1⁄2 cups chicken broth
8 oz Canned diced green chiles
2 oz 1/3 less fat than regular cream cheese
3 cups, chopped Uncooked broccoli
1 tsp Table salt
1⁄2 tsp Smoked paprika
1 1/2 cups Kroger Reduced fat 4 cheese Mexican blend finely shredded cheese, divided
Instructions:
Cut your peppers lengthwise and remove all seeds.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add peppers in and allow them to cook for 3-5 minutes.
Remove and place them on towel to drain.
In a medium pot on medium heat, add the butter, onions and garlic.
Sauté the onions for a couple of minutes until they start to soften. Then stir in the rice, 3 cups broth, Green Chiles, salt, and smoked paprika.
Stir and put a lid on the pot and bring to a boil.
Allow the rice to cook for 25-30 minutes covered, until steam holes are evident on the surface and the broth has been absorbed by the rice.
Stir in the broccoli, cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheese, and remaining 1/2 cup broth into the rice.
Stir until the cream cheese melts into the mixture.
Spray a 9 X 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Lay the peppers in the baking dish, cut side up.
Spoon the rice mixture into the bell peppers.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Then top the peppers with the remaining shredded cheese and place back in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Enjoy!
