Louisiana Dirty Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Spray bottom of 9x13 or large casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and dry bell peppers. Slice off tops or cut in half lengthwise right through the stem. Remove seeds and seed membranes from inside the pepper halves.

Step 3

Stuff peppers with 1 C to 1.5 C of rice, using a spoon to create a rounded top with the rice. Line in baking dish rice side up. Top with shredded Parmesan and bake in preheated oven for 15- 20 minutes. Tent a piece of aluminum foil over the dish for remaining cook time to prevent over browning or drying out.

Step 4

When cook time is up, peppers should be tender. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Top with fresh parsley and serve.
