Follow The Directions

01

Step
0 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

02

Step
20 mins

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

03

Step
7 mins

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add bison. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

04

Step
0 mins

Arrange bell peppers, cut-sides up, in a baking dish. Slice bottoms of peppers if needed so they stand upright.

05

Step
0 mins

Combine rice, bison, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; spoon into each bell pepper.

06

Step
0 mins

Combine diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning in a bowl; pour over stuffed peppers.

07

Step
1 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender, about 1 hour, basting with diced tomato mixture every 15 minutes.

For a richer flavor, try using fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
You can substitute ground beef or turkey for the bison.
Add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking for a cheesy topping.
Feel free to customize the seasonings to your liking. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a little heat.

    I used quinoa instead of brown rice and it worked perfectly.

  • Philip Lebsackhudson

    My family loved this! Even my picky eater devoured it.

  • Maverick Smith

    This recipe is great for meal prepping! I made a batch on Sunday and had lunches for the week.

  • Emanuel Mayer

    Be careful not to overcook the peppers, or they will get mushy.

  • Brennon Vonrueden

    I added some chopped onion and garlic to the bison while browning it, which added a nice depth of flavor!

  • Alisa Witting

    A little spicy kick would be nice. Next time I'll add some red pepper flakes.

  • Guy Wilkinson

    Instead of green bell peppers, I used a mix of red, yellow, and orange for a more colorful presentation.
