Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground beef
  2. ⅔ cup water
  3. 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
  4. 2 cups hot cooked instant white rice (such as Uncle Ben’s®), or as needed
  5. 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  6. 1 tomato, chopped
  7. 1 cup finely chopped mushrooms

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Add water and taco seasoning to ground beef; cook and stir until until water evaporates, about 5 minutes.
  3. Mix ground beef mixture, rice, tomato soup, tomato, mushrooms, red onion, feta cheese, and green onions together in a bowl; spoon into green bell peppers. Arrange stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are softened and filling is cooked through, about 1 hour. Serve with kalamata olives on the side.

Great flavor! I didn’t have tomato soup so I substituted tomato sauce. I added cilantro. Topped with cheddar at the end and let it melt in the oven for a few minutes.

This was delicious! I have used 3 – 4 peppers I substituted tomato sauce for the tomato soup. I used a 28 oz. can of tomato sauce and mixed some in with the meat mixture and poured the rest on top. I used 1 “Boil in a Bag’ white rice. I plan on making these again.

Delicious! This pepper has a great flavor with the added feta cheese. I made two different types of peppers for dinner. This recipe and ‘Yummy Stuffed Peppers’ from AR. My DH really liked this one. I cut the recipe back to one pepper and cut it in half rather than stuffing it. Since we do not eat olives, I served it with extra feta cheese. Also served ‘Feta Mashed Potatoes’ from AR and sliced cucumbers. A good, different recipe for peppers with a twist. I would make it again.
