Cheesy Stuffed Colored Peppers

Ingredients:

2 Whole red, yellow, or orange bell peppers

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 Tablespoons finely chopped onion

1 Cup diced red bell pepper

1 Cup cooked rice

1 1/2 teaspoon dry ranch dressing mix

1 Cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions:

Preheat over to 375 degrees.

Split whole peppers in half and seed them. Set aside.

Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add chopped peppers and continue sautéing for 3-4 minutes more, or until peppers are tender.

In a large bowl, stir together rice, ranch dressing mix and sautéed pepper/onion mix. Fold in cheese.

Stuff peppers halves with rice/cheese mixture. Place in baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.

Side note:

I boil the pepper halves for about 2-3 minute. I like them more soft. Don't boil too long or they become soggy.
