Stuffed Bell Peppers
These peppers are easy and cheap. I love making meals that don't cost a lot of money, but taste like they did. This is definitely one of them! It doesn't require a ton of clean up and it only takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare, before baking. This is super delicious and filling.

- 1/2 cup white onion, diced
- 1 box Rice a Roni Spanish Rice
- 1-2 cups of shredded Mexican cheese

- Prepare your green bell peppers by cutting the tops off and removing the ribs and seeds. Place the peppers into your prepared baking dish, standing them upright so the filling will not run out.
- Fill all of your peppers to the tops with the beef mixture. Sprinkle enough of the cheese on top to cover the filling.
