Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375

Cook rice according to package (one boil in the bag worked for me)

Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat, add scallion whites, and beef and cook until no longer pink. Stir in corn, chilies (drained) cumin, cooked rice, 1/2 cup of cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper.

Arrange the bell peppers, cut side up in a 9X13 dish. Divide the beef mixture amoung the peppers, add 1/2 cup water to the dish and cover tight with foil, bake 40 min. Uncover, sprinkle with rest of cheese, and bake until browned, 5 - 7 minutes more.

In small bowl, whisk togther the yogurt & 1/4 cup water. Drizzle over the bell peppers and top with the salsa and scallion greens.
