Truly a meal in one, this entree has it all: vegetables, meat, pasta and sauce, all packed into tender peppers and baked. Ingredients:
4 medium green peppers |
1/4 cup water |
1/2 cup uncooked orzo pasta |
1 pound ground beef |
1/2 cup chopped onion |
2 cups spaghetti sauce |
1 cup frozen broccoli-cauliflower blend, thawed and chopped |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided |
Directions:
1. Cut tops off peppers and remove seeds; replace tops. Place in an ungreased shallow round 3-qt. microwave-safe dish; add water. Cover and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender.
2. Meanwhile, cook orzo according to package directions. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Drain orzo; stir into meat mixture. Add the spaghetti sauce, vegetables and 1/4 cup cheese.
3. Spoon into peppers. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Yield: 4 servings.
