• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 jar Bayou Brothers Creole Sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
• Olive oil for sautéing
• Salt and pepper to taste

• Preheat your oven to 375°F 
• Slice the tops off the bell peppers, remove seeds and membranes, and set aside. Place the peppers in a baking dish, cut side up.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. 
• Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
• Stir in the cooked rice and 1 cup of Bayou Brothers Creole Sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Spoon the beef and rice mixture evenly into the prepared bell peppers. Pour a little of the remaining Creole Sauce over each stuffed pepper for added flavor and moisture.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheese on top (if desired), and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.
  Let the peppers cool slightly before serving.
