Rachael Ray: Stuffed Peppers with Beef, Rice, Spinach, and Cheese

This Rachael Ray recipe is a roll-over meal from the Spanish Beef and Rice the other day. It is great because most of the cooking is already done. Right now, these recipes are my “best friend!” I love how the flavor changes a little bit by putting the Spanish Beef and Rice in a pepper, so you don’t feel like you’re eating exactly the same thing.

As you’ll notice, I pretty much took this recipe and ran, ran real far with it. I forgot ricotta cheese…oh-no! Well have no fear, the changes I made with this are probably better for you then the ricotta anyway! Also, as I previously stated, I didn’t use wheat pasta, we tried it, we’re not fans, maybe I’ll try it again, but not tonight! Rachael Ray may not always cook the healthiest food, and I”m not knocking on her, cause I love all the pasta and the cheese I can get! If you’ve seen me you know, I love my carbs, everything that’s bad for you, so this recipe is perfect for sneaking in some unknown veggies! Wait and see you’re going to love it!

Ready to eat!

Cookbook: YUM-O!

Total Time: 25 minutes

Difficulty: easy

Husband Says: “It was good, I’d like tomatoes over the bell peppers, a better mix. I would’ve liked it better with squash, but it was good.”

Notes:Well not only did I not have ricotta cheese, but the store was all out of squash, I’m sure that’s going out of season. So this is what I came up with. I roasted the onion, zucchini, and red pepper in the oven. In the food processor, I mixed dried basil, a garlic clove, parsley, and…BABY SPINACH, with some olive oil. I love love love pesto! This was a perfect Spinach pesto, that’s the secret veggie, the spinach! It’s a perfect way to get your kids to eat it and they won’t even know it. I added in some Parmesan cheese at the end and mixed all the pasta, pesto, and veggies together, it was amazing! I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.
