Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over high heat. Add beef and brown, undisturbed, about 5 minutes. Then, break up with a spoon and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain off excess fat. Stir in salsa, corn and rice.
Step 3
Pierce peppers with a fork or sharp knife and stand up in a small casserole dish. Fill each pepper with the meat mixture.
Step 4
Cover peppers with foil and bake for 20 minutes, until tender. Uncover and sprinkle with cheese before serving.
Recipe Tips
For something different, substitute ground turkey for the ground beef called for in the recipe. Or, make this dish vegetarian by adding a meat substitute, instead of the beef.
Add a little heat to this dish by spicing up your ground beef with spicy salsa or with 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce.
