- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
- 2 cups water
- 1 (8 ounce) box Mexican rice mix
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
- 1 (8 ounce) bottle spicy ranch dressing
- 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Mexican cheese blend
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix taco seasoning into ground beef.
- Combine water, Mexican rice mix, and butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil for 1 minute. Cover saucepan, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Mix ground beef into rice mixture.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil; cook green bell peppers until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Drain. Fill each bell pepper with beef-rice mixture. Arrange bell peppers in a baking dish. Pour ranch dressing over bell peppers and top each with Mexican cheese blend.
- Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and cheese is melted, 45 to 50 minutes.
