Susan Kakuk - Plymouth, Minnesota
Bake-Off® Contest 36, 1994
Raising a bumper crop of green peppers in her Minnesota garden inspired Susan Kakuk to create this south-of-the-border meatless filling for her
family. The flavorful stuffed peppers can be baked in a conventional oven or microwaved.
PEPPERS
4 large green bell peppers, halved, seeded
2 tablespoons water
FILLING
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1 (15-ounce) can spicy chili beans, undrained
1 (11-ounce) can vacuum-packed whole kernel corn with red and green peppers, drained
GARNISH
1/2 cup picante salsa
8 tortilla chips
Fresh cilantro, if desired
MICROWAVE DIRECTIONS: Place peppers and water in ungreased 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) microwave-safe dish or divide peppers and water between two 8-inch (1 1/2-quart) microwave-safe dishes. Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap; microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Drain.
In medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Spoon heaping 1/2 cup of filling into each pepper half. Cover; microwave 13 x 9-inch dish on HIGH for 15 to 16 minutes or until peppers are tender. (Microwave each 8-inch dish for 6 to 8 minutes.) Top each pepper with 1 tablespoon of salsa, a tortilla chip and cilantro.
CONVENTIONAL DIRECTIONS: Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Spoon heaping 1/2 cup of filling into each pepper half. Place filled peppers in ungreased 13 x 9-inch (3-quart) baking dish or pan. Omit water. Cover with foil; bake at 350°F. for 50 to 60 minutes or until peppers are tender. Garnish as directed above.
