Ingredients

Scale

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
2 cups cooked Basmati rice
2 cups meaty spaghetti sauce (I used my Bolognese – recipe here)
1 tomato, cored & chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Instructions

Cut the top off of 4 bell peppers and clean out the seeds from the inside and top. Cut Jack O Lantern faces into the peppers. Cut the seeds off the inside of the tops. Set the peppers and tops aside.
In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the onion and bell pepper and saute until the onion is translucent and soft. Stir in the rice and sauce and saute for a few more minutes. Stir in the tomato and cheese and cook until the cheese is melted.
Stuff the rice mixture into the peppers. Eat them now, or if you like, top the topping with some more cheese and bake the peppers at 350 F until the cheese melts and the pepper is tender.

Notes

For more flavor/spice, add Italian seasonings or fresh herbs, hot peppers or flavorful cheeses to the beefy rice mixture.
