Instructions for Making American-Style Chili Stuffed Peppers
Step 1: Prepare the Peppers
Cut the bell peppers in half vertically and remove the seeds. Blanch them briefly in boiling water until slightly soft, then drain using a strainer.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Peel and dice the tomatoes into small cubes. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat, then add the onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Add the cooked rice and diced tomatoes, stirring to combine well. Season with red pepper powder and mix in the corn, continuing to sauté until heated through.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Stuff each blanched pepper half with the rice mixture, pressing gently to pack it in. Arrange the stuffed peppers in an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese and finely grated carrot over the top of each filled pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
Enjoy your meal! Serve the stuffed peppers hot, and savor the delicious blend of flavors.
