What You'll Need
- 6 red or green bell peppers
- 1/2 pound ground chuck
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen seasoning blend
- 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
- 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
- 1 (3-1/2-ounce) bag boil-in-bag rice, uncooked

I was unable to find this "seasoning" blend where I live either. I checked 3 different stores. But I suppose I could just dice up my own peppers, onions, and celery. You could chop up a large batch and store it in individual freezer bags in the freezer, to cut down on prep time for a variety of different meals. I always love to save time in the kitchen, especially if I had a long day at work and just want to relax.

Frozen seasoning blend is a combination of onions, celery, green & red peppers and parsley flakes. You can find it near the vegetables in the freezer section of your grocery store. Enjoy!

I have an easier recipe. You take a box of rice a roni spanish rice, uncooked, mix it with your hamburger, stuff the peppers, and place in large casserole. I then use a can of tomato juice to pour over the peppers, and then bake at 325* for a couple of hours.....YUUUMMMMM
