Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ 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®)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Arrange bell peppers, cut-side up, in a baking dish. Slice bottoms of peppers if needed so they stand upright.

Step 5
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.

Step 6
Mix diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning together in a bowl; pour over stuffed peppers.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven, basting with diced tomatoes mixture every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.
