	Old_cowboy / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago This recipe originated with the desire to use left over ingredients from a big Santa Maria BBQ (80 people).

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef

4 to 6 red bell peppers.

One package of Zartrain's red beans & rice. If you make from scratch you will need about three cups.

2 cups feta cheese

2 cups of Pesto sauce

3 tbsp of Pick-a-pepper sauce

1 tbsp Cholula hot sauce

Directions

Cook the red beans and rice. Use the smaller amount of water suggested in the directions on the package. Set aside.

Cut tops off like the peppers were little pumpkins you were going to make jack-o-lanterns. Cut the seed cluster off the inside of the top. Clean out the peppers removing the white ribs. Set aside.

Brown ground beef.

Season with Cholula and Pick-a-pepper sauce and salt, pepper to taste.

Stir in 2 cups of pesto, and cooked red beans & rice

Add feta cheese stir in until it melts.

Spoon beef and rice mixture into peppers.

Replace pepper tops

Put peppers in an oven proof pan, smaller is better so the peppers stay upright. Or, use toothpicks to make little legs for the peppers to keep them upright.

Bake in oven for 30-45 minutes.

Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

I am definitely making this tonight. I have a case of red peppers and I just bought some hot Italian sausage today (I never eat ground beef). I always have Feta and the rest of the ingredients I can improvise. Great idea with the red peppers instead of green. I may even add some BHUT JOLOKIA!!! Thanks Cowboy!
