Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

1. Coat the bottom of indicated number of baking pans with olive oil and set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
3. Blanch peppers in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, until peppers just start to cook, then plunge immediately into cold water.
4. Divide peppers among prepared baking pans.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Saute beef, onions, and garlic until beef is no longer pink and onions are soft.
7. Add beans, rice, tomatoes with juice, taco seasoning, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
8. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
9. Cook 30-45 minutes until rice is tender and juices are absorbed, stirring once or twice to prevent sticking.
10. Fill each pepper half way with filling. Top each with 2 tablespoons of cheese. Fill with remaining filling and top each with another 2 tablespoons of cheese.
11. Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes. Peppers will be very soft, filling should be heated through, and cheese will be bubbly.
