Bison And Brown Rice Stuffed Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup water
1/2 cup long-grain brown rice
1 pound ground bison
6 green bell peppers - tops, seeds, and membranes removed
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon all-purpose seasoning (such as Vegata(R))
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bison in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
Arrange bell peppers, cut-side up, in a baking dish. Slice bottoms of peppers if needed so they stand upright.
Mix rice, bison, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Spoon rice-bison mixture into each bell pepper.
Mix diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning together in a bowl; pour over stuffed peppers.
Bake in the preheated oven, basting with diced tomatoes mixture every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.
