Rice, ground beef, peppers, onions and Italian seasoning packed in a jar. Simmer in water for a one-pot take on stuffed peppers, with cheese on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup Instant white rice
  • 1/2 cup Thrive ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Thrive green bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup Thrive red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup Thrive chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup Thrive mushroom pieces
  • 1 Tbs italian seasoning blend
  • 1/2 cup Thrive tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup Thrive cheddar cheese rehydrated
  • 1/2 cup Thrive monterey jack cheese rehydrated

Directions

  • Fill the jar starting with the powders, pressing down after each addition to make room.
  • The cheese is optional: put it in its own small baggy on top, after placing the oxygen absorber in first. Or sprinkle the cheese on after cooking.
  • Put on the lid.

Notes

To cook: bring 4 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Remove the oxygen absorber and the cheese baggy, then add the jar contents. Simmer until thickened and the rice is cooked; add up to an extra 1/2 cup water if needed. For regular rice, use a rice cooker instead.
Safety: freeze-dried beef and cheese can go rancid.
